Anderson at Golf Islesmere

Golf Islesmere's Anderson course occupies land in Sainte-Dorothée, a sector of Laval on the north shore of the Rivière des Prairies, across from Montreal's West Island. The course was designed by Howard Watson, a Canadian architect active in Quebec during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Watson designed or renovated several courses in the province, typically working with the rolling terrain and mature tree cover characteristic of the St. Lawrence Lowlands.

The Anderson course plays through a landscape of moderate elevation change and established hardwood corridors. The routing takes advantage of natural contours to create variety in hole presentation, with fairways that move through wooded sections and more open areas. Water features appear on several holes, reflecting the proximity to the region's network of rivers and streams. The design follows conventions of its era, with strategic bunkering and greens that reward accurate approach play.

Golf Islesmere serves the residential communities of Laval and the greater Montreal area. The club offers a setting where members and visitors play within a landscape shaped by Quebec's golf architecture traditions. The course reflects the regional style of mid-century Canadian design, emphasizing playability across different skill levels while maintaining challenge through thoughtful use of terrain and hazards. The facility operates as part of the local golf infrastructure in a region with a strong recreational golf culture.
