Royal Montreal Golf Club

Blue, at Royal Montreal, is where Canadian championship golf found its footing. Carved into the landscape of Île Bizard, it is a mature parkland layout reflecting the strategic principles of the early 20th century. Originally designed by Albert Murray, Blue has undergone subtle refinements over time, retaining its classic character. Its relatively tight fairways, subtly contoured greens, and strategic bunkering reward thoughtful play more than brute power. It’s a course that favors those who can shape the ball, and navigate the clever doglegs that define many holes. The Blue course hosted the Canadian Open multiple times, most recently in 2014, etching its name into the annals of the sport in this country. While perhaps not a fixture in global discussions of course architecture, Blue is held in high esteem within Canadian golfing circles. Royal Montreal's membership is steeped in tradition, and the club prides itself on upholding the values of the game. You might also find members and guests alike enjoying the club’s famed pea soup, a comforting and historical staple after a round.
