Hit The Driving Range

If you're traveling abroad to golf, you'll want to make the most of the world-class courses you'll undoubtedly be visiting. Don’t show up rusty. Practice your game well in advance of arriving. You don’t want to show up to the course looking for a swing. Hit a driving range near home to work out any kinks in your game. A lesson never hurts either. 

Research The Courses

As a golf player, you'll want to know if the course is hilly or flat and has sand traps, lakes, or ponds. By knowing this information, you can arrive ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead. 

Know Your Tee Times

Prior to departure, it is beneficial to make sure all arrangements have been made. At Whistler Reservations, we can offer you the chance to choose your own tee-time. What's more, once you’ve received your booking confirmation, your tee times are guaranteed, you just show up!

Pack Appropriately

It's easy to remember the obvious things to pack such as a passport and clubs, but you'll need to pay special attention to the things that might otherwise go unaccounted for: extra golf balls, a raincoat, and sunscreen. It's also a great idea to make sure you have apparel for the clubs dress code. 

Clean Your Clubs

Trust us, you'll want to pull out shiny and well-maintained clubs once you get to the course. This may mean giving extra attention to your equipment in the days preceding travel. A well-maintained set will enable you to perform your best.
