The Dixie Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club represents Dick Wilson's contribution to Canada's oldest golf club, founded in 1873. When Royal Montreal relocated from its previous sites to Île Bizard in the 1950s, Wilson designed both the Blue and Dixie courses on this expansive property in the Lake of Two Mountains region west of Montreal. The Dixie Course opened in 1959 as the club's second eighteen, complementing Wilson's championship Blue Course. Wilson's design on the Dixie reflects his characteristic style of strategic bunkering and elevated greens, though on a somewhat more approachable scale than its companion course. The routing moves through rolling, wooded terrain typical of the region, with mature trees framing fairways and defining playing corridors. The course features Wilson's trademark use of sand to challenge both tee shots and approaches, with bunkers positioned to reward accurate play while penalizing wayward shots. Royal Montreal's move to Île Bizard created one of North America's premier private club facilities, with the Dixie Course serving members for regular play while the Blue Course has hosted significant championships, including the Canadian Open and the 2007 Presidents Cup. The club maintains strong traditions of competitive golf and formal club culture, reflecting its long history in Canadian golf. Both courses benefit from the club's commitment to conditioning and the natural beauty of the island setting, where the St. Lawrence River's influence creates a distinctive landscape for golf in Quebec.
