About this course

Golf Islesmere's Allaire course occupies land in Sainte-Dorothée, a district within Laval on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River near Montreal. Designed by Howard Watson, the course reflects the work of an architect who contributed to several layouts in Quebec during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The property sits in the relatively flat terrain characteristic of this part of the Laval region, where courses typically navigate modest elevation changes and make use of natural water features and mature tree corridors to define playing corridors. The routing at Allaire works through a landscape shaped by the area's agricultural past, with fairways framed by stands of deciduous trees and occasional water hazards that come into play on approach shots and around greens. Watson's design emphasizes strategic placement off the tee and rewards golfers who can position themselves for favorable angles into putting surfaces. The course serves a membership drawn from Laval and the greater Montreal area, providing a local option for regular play in a region with a concentrated golf market. Golf Islesmere operates within Quebec's seasonal climate, with the course open from spring through autumn. The facility reflects the character of many established clubs in the province, offering a straightforward test of golf without extensive modern earth-moving or dramatic architectural features. The Allaire course remains a functional layout for members seeking accessible golf in the Laval area.

Getting there

The journey to Golf Islesmere begins at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), a straightforward thirty-minute drive northwest into the Laval suburbs. The route follows the broad sweep of Autoroute 13 before peeling off into the quieter residential fabric of Sainte-Dorothée, where the urban pulse of greater Montréal softens into tree-lined streets and the gentle presence of the Rivière des Prairies. The final turn reveals the club's understated entrance - a discreet threshold that marks the transition from the everyday to a private world of manicured fairways and old-world Québécois golf tradition.
