No disrespect, but you're kidding right??? Just because they shot parts of Happy Gilmore there doesn't make it a quality track. I've been fortunate to have played all of the Whister tracks and several of the better Lower Mainland ones as well. Furry wouldn't even get into my top 10 for BC nevermmind overall.

I would agree. I played it back in 2006, and it was in good shape, but is as tricked up as they come, IMO.

Preferred all of the Whistler courses over FC.
