Over the past number of years Golf has made strong efforts to shed its elitist tag as we see increasing take up rate of the sport from the middle-class.  With that said it is also apparent that society’s upper crust will inevitably play this game at a different “level”.
For those who can afford the best in life, there is a golf vacation like no other. From the time you set sail for this trip, to the time you stroke in your last putt on the 18th, it promises to not only pamper you with the finest in golf, but also to take you through a breathtaking journey. Welcome to the Canadian Luxury Golf and Rail Experience – Canada’s Most Luxurious and Expensive Golf Vacation.  This amazing golf experience has been designed by GLOBAL GOLF VACATIONS INC (WWW.GLOBALGOLFVACATIONS.NET) - A Vancouver based company specializing in luxury golf travel.  First class service, spectacular scenery and award winning golf make this tour one that you will relish for a lifetime.
The experience begins as you enjoy a gourmet menu along with your choice of select beverages and premium liquors on your fully catered private jet flight from your departure point to Calgary, Canada. Upon landing in Calgary, you will be met at the airport and escorted via private limo to your first Canadian Resort – Fairmont Banff Springs Resort and Golf Club, which basks in the beauty of the surrounding Banff National Park.
 
Renowned for its panoramic beauty, the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course is a captivating and challenging layout set in the heart of Canada's Rocky Mountains. Amateurs and professionals alike are constantly amazed by its panoramic challenge created by Stanley Thompson, Canada's master golf course architect who designed the original 18 holes in 1928. The course winds along the Bow River under the snow-capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle. In 1989, 9 holes were added, resulting in 27 holes of championship layout.
 
You will then make your way through the rugged and magnificent Rocky Mountains on the Gold Leaf amenities-filled famous Rocky Mountaineer train. Enjoy first class cuisine and accommodations, and golf award winning courses as you make your way along points that take you from the desert interior of British Columbia to the famous Whistler Resort (Home of the 2010 Olympics). Here, you have the opportunity to play the finest mountain golf at the Chateau Whistler Golf Club. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. in 1993 and rated 'four and a half stars' by Golf Digest, the par 72, 18-hole course offers a golf opportunity unmatched in the region.
 
 Snow-capped peaks. A brilliant emerald-coloured lake. Majestic fir trees. Fresh, invigorating mountain air. That is the breathtaking charm that overwhelms you at your next golf stop – the Nicklaus North Golf Club designed by none other than the great Jack Nicklaus. This par 71, 18-hole course winds along a gentle valley floor offering you a spectacular setting as your golfing skills are tested to the fullest. Just minutes from cobblestone walkways and street side cafes of the resort town of Whistler, Nicklaus North stands out as one of the great courses in North America.

 What really caps this off as the ultimate golf vacation is the fact that you not only get to play the most unique courses in the world, but you also get a 9-nights itinerary that encompasses fine food and sights that will leave you gasping for more. For example, at Whistler, you will enjoy a few other signature Canadian experiences such as a first class Glacier and Wildlife Heli-Tour, as well as a ride on the new Peak to Peak Gondola – one of the highest hanging gondolas in the world! And if you have 4 more nights to spare, you could even experience your own island paradise at the 5-star Sonora Resort. This is tucked in a private island resort located in the Georgia Strait reachable via a seaplane.
 

If there ever is a downside of this vacation, it is that all good things must come to an end. And so the tour ends with a voyage back to Vancouver where you can participate in a Grizzly Bear Expedition around the magnificent Canadian wilderness, before attempting your pars at the stunningly picturesque Storey Creek Golf Club located on the east-central coastline of Vancouver Island.
 

Then to end this journey the way it started, you will head home in truly luxurious fashion on board your private jet.  Undoubtedly, this rite of passage at over $21,000 per person (based on double occupancy for full 14 night itinerary) is accessible to only the privileged few.  And if you would like the private jet inclusion then the $21,000 price tag increases significantly.  In fact with various other upgrades this once in a lifetime golf vacation can run you closer to $75,000 with private jet and presidential suites! For the rest of us, we will continue to enjoy golf at our local clubs, but always keeping the Canadian Luxury Golf and Rail Experience in sight as the eventual golf vacation to pursue in this lifetime!

When you are ready to experience true golf vacation nirvana the staff at Global Golf Vacations will be waiting for your call.   GLOBAL GOLF VACATIONS – WWW.GLOBALGOLFVACATIONS.NET
