Eaglet Tours Adds New Whistler Golf Package Accommodations

Horstman House

Blackcomb Lodge

We're always on the lookout for great Whistler accommodations for our clients. We've just added two excellent values and distinctly different properties.

The Blackcomb Lodge underwent extensive rennovations to the sum of $5 million a couple of summers ago. The location of this porperty is tough to beat as it sits at the heart of one of the busiest areas of the Whistler village. This lodge is home to award winning Araxi Restaurant, Solarice Wellness Spa, The Savage Beagle bar and a host of other shops and services. Not to mention, the bed configuration is very flexible to suit couples or golf buddies alike!

We'va also added the Hostman House. This is a great property for those who want to feel like their in a secluded spot but have amenites close by. You are a few minutes away from all the luxurious amenites the Four Seasons Resort can throw at you. The Hostman House is also right across the street from the Fairmont Chateau Golf Course and a few minutes from the stunning Lost Lake Park.

Lost Lake Park is one of Whistler's hidden treasures! The Lake warms up enough in the summer to become a beautiful swimming temperature. There are a number of nice sandy beaches and even a doggie beach complete with a specially modified dock so your canine can enjoy sitting on the water with you! There are also miles of hiking and biking trails through beautiful Coast Mounain forests.

We welcome the diversity these new products bring to our already amazing array of Whistler vacation lodging options.

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.
