Furry Creek: Views and Golf
Accommodation in Furry Creek
Furry Creek can be explored from several perspectives: public open spaces and viewpoints at Oliver’s Landing offer a different experience from the scenic golf course. Whether you’re interested in walking trails, whale watching, or golf, you’ll find a range of ideas here for planning your trip.
Public Trails and Views at Oliver’s Landing
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District manages parts of a scenic public walkway in Furry Creek. Furry Creek’s public open spaces also include a viewing pier beside Oliver’s Landing, which is likewise managed by the Regional District. Oliver’s Landing is a whale-watching spot, with views across the Sound from the viewpoint. The walkway, pier, and viewing spot offer different ways to spend time outdoors.
Visitor information for Oliver’s Landing notes that it is free to use, parking is limited, and a short walk along gravel paths leads to the beach or viewpoint. Check current access and parking conditions before your visit.
Golf in a Distinctive Landscape
Furry Creek Golf and Country Club is surrounded by Howe Sound Bay, tall old-growth trees, and snow-capped mountains. Its signature hole, 14, is right on the shore of Howe Sound; the golf course also winds through the rainforest and ravines of this unique ecosystem. The signature hole provides a clear waterfront feature, while the rainforest and ravines shape the course. For golf enthusiasts, the landscape is a tangible part of the experience, alongside the sport itself.
The Sea to Sky Restaurant is located on the 18th green and offers views of Howe Sound over the treetops. This perspective differs from signature hole 14, which is right on the shore: here, the view stretches over the treetops, while the hole lies directly beside the water. If you’re considering a visit to the restaurant, check the latest visitor information in advance.
