About this course

Club de golf Lachute occupies rolling terrain in the Laurentian foothills northwest of Montreal, approximately fifty miles from the city in the town of Lachute. Stanley Thompson designed the course in 1928 during a prolific period when he was establishing his reputation across Canada. The layout reflects Thompson's characteristic approach to working with natural landforms, routing holes through varied elevation changes and incorporating the existing topography into strategic design. The course moves across wooded and open ground with several holes playing along or across modest valleys. Thompson's design philosophy of minimal earth-moving is evident here, as fairways follow the land's natural contours and greens are positioned to take advantage of existing slopes and ridges. The bunkering style shows Thompson's preference for irregular, naturalistic shapes that blend into the surrounding landscape rather than appearing manufactured. Lachute serves primarily as a regional club for the local community and golfers from the broader Laurentides region. The course has maintained much of its original routing over the decades, though modifications and updates to infrastructure have occurred as is typical for courses approaching a century of operation. It represents an example of Thompson's work in Quebec during the interwar period when he was actively designing courses throughout the province and across Canada, contributing to the development of golf in smaller communities beyond major urban centers.

Getting there

The journey to Club de golf Lachute begins at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), roughly an hour's drive northwest into the rolling Laurentian foothills. The route follows Autoroute 15 north before transitioning onto quieter provincial highways that wind through farmland and forest, the landscape gradually lifting toward the Argenteuil hills. As you approach Lachute, the road narrows into tree-lined corridors and modest rural crossroads, the final turn revealing the club's understated entrance - a gateway to one of Québec's enduring golf sanctuaries, tucked discreetly into the countryside north of the metropolis.
