Sunstone Golf Club

Pemberton sits in a broad glacial valley north of Whistler, hemmed in by some of the most dramatic mountain terrain in British Columbia. The Lillooet River flats give the area an almost unexpected openness — wide skies, farmland, and snow-capped peaks pressing in from every direction. It's a valley that feels genuinely remote even though Whistler's resort corridor is just 30 kilometres to the south, and that contrast between wild alpine surroundings and accessible infrastructure makes Pemberton increasingly attractive to golfers who want something beyond the well-trodden Sea-to-Sky circuit.

Sunstone Golf Club is the valley's home course — a full 18-hole, par-72 layout that plays against a backdrop you'd struggle to find anywhere else in Canadian golf. Mountain courses in this part of BC tend to reward patience; the air, the elevation shifts, and the scale of the scenery can quietly distort your sense of distance and perspective on the course.

For visitors coming up from Whistler, Sunstone offers a noticeably different tempo — quieter, less resort-polished, and more rooted in the community it serves.
