Mighty Mountain Golf in Whistler

I've been reading the December 2007 issue of Fairways and Greens Magazine. It's a nice glossy issue with a knock out, cage match theme called 'Best of the West'.

In one of the undercard matches we have Whistler Resort vs Mammoth. While both resorts put a series of 9 and 10 ratings on the card, Whistler was ahead with a final score of 97 out of 100.

Here is a quick breakdown of the scoring. Check out the Fairways and Greens Website for more information.

Mammoth - Criteria - Whistler
10 - Setting & Atmoshpere - 10
9 - Course Architecture - 10
9 - Course Conditioning - 10
10 - Service - 10
9 - Value - 9
9 - Dining Options - 10
10 - Lodging - 10
10 - Non-golf Recreation - 10
9 - Travel Accessibility - 9
9 - Weather - 9
94 - Final Score - 97

What makes the difference? The quality of the golf experience and variety of dining experience.

There is a bit of a knock on the value side for both resorts. Let me tell you, Whistler IS a great value in the summer. We have access to 3 and 4 course package rates and free night deals with accommodation vendors. In my mind, Whistler should receive a 10 for value as well.
