Testimonials & Feedback

"Hidden gem, best view ever! Loved this place (Table Nineteen Victoria, at Olympic View). A hidden gem in the Westshore. Service was fabulous with Tasha and Maddy as our Servers. Fantastic margaritas made by Joey. The lamb shank was phenomenal with wonderful flavours. The icing on the cake was the view! Highly recommend this place."

"Fantastic track (Nicklaus North)! Have and will continue to recommend to anyone going to Whistler... I had to opportunity to play this beautiful course a couple weeks ago. Very well maintained, the fairways were dynamite, greens run fast and true, and staff were very friendly. All in all such a great experience, would 10/10 recommend a round or 2 or 3 at Nicklaus North next time you're in Whistler."

"Dinner experience [at Mayfair Lakes] was fantastic. Went for dinner with friends for my birthday tonight and all of the food was amazing. We love it there because you don't have to be a golfer to enjoy the restaurant and surroundings. We have enjoyed a few meals there and never disappointed. Kudos to the chef! Service is very nice too."

"A big thank you to all of you at the golf course (Gallagher's Canyon) for making our tournament run so smoothly this year. As always, it is an event that is successful in large part to the helpful team that you have. I appreciate the cooperation and genuine care that all of you take in helping our event run so well. The coordination of everything from bar, dining, course, and pro shop made the experience for our participants as good as could be. What a great group of individuals you all have at Gallagher's."

"I just wanted to take a minute to pass on a couple of comments to you. Six of us ... played Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the course. For my wife and I, it was our first time there. We particularly were impressed with your staff. We were welcomed by the young lady taking our bags, the ladies in the pro shop, the starter, the cart girl and the player assistant on the course. The day before we had played at [another golf course], and not only was there no water on the course, we saw the cart girl only once – on the 7th hole. Compare that to your staff. We saw the cart girl three times, you had water on 5 or six holes and your Player Assistant was frequently checking to see if we had ice – and on the front side warned us to be sure to have lots and lots water on the back as there was no wind. We came away from Gallagher’s Canyon with a very positive view and we are already looking forward to playing it again when we are in Kelowna. By the way, we really liked the course itself – you have some wonderful golf holes."

"The holes (of The Quail Course at The Okanagan Golf Club) wind through towering trees and around majestic rock beds. It's like an ideal mountain course that's not in the mountains. It's one of the most scenic courses I've ever played. There are plenty of elevation changes, yet because I'm surrounded by trees everywhere, there aren't many distant vistas. And that's perfectly fine: The on-course views are breathtaking. It's also a really playable course. Some of the fairways are tight, but I'm able to find just about any ball that veers into the trees. I highly recommend to make this your first or last stop on any golf trip to Kelowna..."

"I loved this course (Olympic View) and would play it over and over again. You are definitely at one with nature and it's got great hole after great hole"

"(Nicklaus North is the) best of the Whistler complex. Enjoyable from one up from the back tees but would be challenging from the tips."

"The wedding we recently had at Nicklaus North was a most magical and incredible event, one that clearly exceeded both of our very lofty expectations. The staff at NN, and in particular Casey-Anne, Claire and Kerrilee, did a remarkable job of displaying a lot of care and concern about every last detail of our special day. Their attention to detail and focus on providing superior customer service and satisfaction did not go unnoticed. All our guests raved about the quality of service, the beauty of the venue and the delicious food. We all noticed the extra effort that was made by all to make this a wonderful experience for us and our guests. We’re very happy we chose Nicklaus North for our wedding ceremony and reception, and we would not hesitate to tell anyone and everyone that it is the ideal place to have your dream wedding. Thanks once again for showing us and our guests what outstanding customer service is all about!"
Ian and Glenda Turner, Oakville, ON, Canada

"I have been to several weddings in my lifetime, and this weekend was the best wedding reception that i have been to. Gallagher's Canyon is not only one of the most beautiful that i have seen, the staff is quite incredible! [Leah Zimmerman and Dominique Dooley] who coordinated the evening were spectacular. It isn't very often that you get to experience people that i believe truly love their job. Whenever i had a question, they had an immediate answer... Your facility showed each and every guest what the meaning of customer service is. Even the [Team Members] who were clearing tables and serving drinks and cake, went above and beyond ensuring everyone was happy... I have several friends and family in the Okanagan/Kelowna area, and I am going to make sure that every one of them hears about this experience. My hat goes off to all of you..."
Nick Patrignani (Adams/Hillary wedding)

"Nicklaus North continues to thrive by providing friendly, courteous service and a well-groomed layout. Just two of the reasons the course continually places comfortably in Canada’s Top 100 Golf Courses... However, beyond the awards, the signature architect, and the surreal setting is something more impressive, and to be honest something a bit unexpected. Authenticity. There is a sense of commitment to golf and a genuine care that is taken for the individuals who come to play, even though it might knowingly be only once in their lifetime. It’s an attribute surely to be admired, one that is worth coming back for, and one that unfortunately many resorts seem to lack."

"I want to pass on my sincere thanks as well as give your staff a huge vote of praise and kudos - everyone we came in contact with, including the Pro Shop staff, the on course people and the Restaurant staff, was very pleasant and helpful. Combine this with the course (Nicklaus North) being in terrific shape, we had a wonderful day. Again many thanks, and please pass on our sincere appreciation to your staff."

"On behalf of the Hibernian Golf Club - to all the staff at Nicklaus North and GolfBC - it was an exceptional day of golf. First class all the way. Every staff member has been taught a special approach to customer service that without a doubt had all of our members talking about it. And coming to me to confirm we were booked for 2007 - there was no stone left unturned - see you next year!"
Wayne Zaiser, Hiberinian Golf Tournament

"Thank you very much for organizing a wonderful evening (at Mayfair Lakes)! The Social Committee received many compliments on the entrees and to our gracious attendee Joe and bartender Cameron. Our compliments to the kitchen staff for providing an excellent buffet. I've organized a Christmas party at this venue a few years ago and I must say, the service and quality of the Catering Team at Mayfair Lakes has improved immensely. Thanks to you and your colleagues for making our evening a memorable occasion."
