About this course

Kanawaki Golf Club sits in Kahnawake, a Mohawk territory on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, directly across from Montreal. The club traces its origins to 1914, making it one of the older golf establishments in the Montreal region. The current layout reflects work by Canadian architect Darrell Huxham, who has designed and renovated courses primarily in Quebec and the Maritime provinces. The course occupies relatively flat terrain characteristic of the St. Lawrence lowlands, with mature tree-lined fairways that define playing corridors and frame individual holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural features while working within the constraints of the level topography. Huxham's design emphasizes strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward thoughtful course management over pure distance. The club operates within the Kahnawake Mohawk community, giving it a distinctive cultural and geographic context among Montreal-area courses. Its location provides convenient access for golfers from both the south shore suburbs and downtown Montreal via the Mercier Bridge. Kanawaki serves primarily as a member club for local and regional golfers, maintaining a traditional private club structure with family-oriented programming. The course offers a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of skill levels, with the design emphasizing accuracy and local knowledge of green surfaces. The club's setting within the Mohawk territory adds a layer of regional character not found at other courses in the greater Montreal golf market.

Getting there

The journey to Kanawaki Golf Club begins at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), a brief twenty-minute drive north across the St. Lawrence River. The route south traces the Mercier Bridge into the Mohawk territory of Kahnawake, where the urban sprawl of greater Montreal gives way to a quieter, more pastoral landscape of open fields and riverside calm. As you descend from the bridge and wind through the community roads, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - the tempo slows, the horizon opens, and suddenly you arrive at one of Canada's oldest and most discreetly revered clubs, perched on land that has witnessed golf since 1911.
