Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo visits Revelstoke Mountain Resort golf project in Western Canada

Posted by Big G under General, Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf

European Ryder Cup catain Nick Faldo was recently on site at Faldo Design’s first project in Western Canada – Revelstoke Mountain Resort, an 18-hole resort golf course that will sit at the heart of a pioneering luxury ski-resort nestled in the mountains of British Columbia.

Opening last winter to international acclaim, Revelstoke Mountain Resort now offers the longest lift-serviced vertical descent in North America at 5,620 feet. In addition, Hawkair Aviation begins scheduled service four times a week between Calgary and Revelstoke this December. The Revelstoke Mountain Resort course will sit at the base of the mountain adjacent to the village base and the Nelsen Lodge condominiums. Offering spectacular views of the Columbia River and the Monashee Mountains, the valley location will ensure a long playing season from mid-April to October. Crews will break ground in spring 2009.

This new project will sit perfectly within the six-time Major winner’s expanding portfolio of golf courses across the world. In the Americas alone, Faldo Design is working on courses as far afield as Nova Scotia, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
