A mountainside, Nicklaus-designed golf course (the only one of its kind in Canada) is the centerpiece of this massive resort community about 30 minutes northwest of the city center. Two hotel buildings, several restaurants, a spa, and an extensive health club with both women's and co-ed gyms form the core of the ski resort-style village. Rooms and suites in the Clubhouse and Fairway buildings are large, with slate bathroom floors, soft-green-and-gray earth tones, double-headed showers, large shared balconies, and a kitchen; most have deep soaker tubs and some have fireplaces. The Clubhouse houses a restaurant, bar, and a big masculine slate-and-leather lobby; the Fairways building has guest rooms only, with an intimate lobby. Pros:
Great golf, spa, and health club.

This offbeat museum at the edge of the University Golf Club is a treat for those who can't get enough of the game. Housed in a 1930 colonial bungalow that once served as the course clubhouse, the museum has a fine collection of historic photos, trophies, antique clubs, and other golfing memorabilia. The exhibits are arranged like a golf course in 18 sections (or holes) with a theme for each. www.bcgolfmuseum.org. Admission: Free. Hours: Tues.-Sun. noon-4.
