Golf Hermitage, located in Magog in the Eastern Townships region of Québec, was designed by Albert H. Murray, a prominent Canadian golf architect active in the early-to-mid twentieth century. Murray's work across Canada established him as a thoughtful designer responsive to natural terrain, and his design at Hermitage reflects that sensibility applied to the Laurentian landscape of southern Québec. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the region: rolling topography with mixed forest and water features that define play throughout the routing. The alternate tees provide flexibility in course length and difficulty, allowing the design to accommodate varying skill levels while maintaining the strategic intent of Murray's original layout. This approach was typical of Murray's philosophy, which emphasized playability across the membership without compromising the challenge for accomplished golfers. The setting combines the natural beauty of the Magog area—known for its lakes and forested hills—with the deliberate shaping and bunkering that Murray employed to create defined playing corridors and strategic options. Water hazards and tree-lined fairways feature prominently in the design character. The club itself reflects the social and recreational traditions of Québec's English-speaking golf community, with a membership-focused culture centered on the game and the landscape. Hermitage remains a regional fixture in Québec golf, representing the solid, playable design philosophy that characterized Murray's body of work across Canada.
