For sheer drama and natural beauty, few par 3 holes anywhere can match Furry Creek
Golf & Country Club's 14th. One of the most picturesque, and most photographed,
golf holes in British Columbia stretching into the deep blue waters of Howe Sound,
it is defined by the rocky shore and glistening bunkers, framed by a backdrop
of mountains.
Aptly nicknamed "Tee to Sea," the 14th requires a precise shot from the gold tee box
211 yards to the peninsula green that must first carry 175 yards over water, beach,
and rocks. There is a generous bailout area to the right of the green, but the best
result for any shot to the left would be landing in the 760-square-foot bunker tracing
the front left of the green, or the 310-square-foot trap on the back left guarding
the sound.
The long and narrow green encompasses more than 4,200 square feet. There is
almost always some wind off the sound, making both the white tee box that can vary
from 155 to 190 yards and the red tee box at 141 yards attractive options.
The Robert Muir Graves design offers remarkable mountain and sea views throughout
the course, but the 14th—a full 357 feet below the clubhouse and the Sea to Sky
Grill—is a quintessential BC panorama that you'll never forget.
