La Bête occupies a dramatic site in the Laurentian Mountains near Mont-Tremblant, where the terrain's natural severity shaped both its name and its design. Graham Cooke and Darrell Huxham routed the course through dense forest and across significant elevation changes, creating a layout that moves through varied woodland settings and exposes golfers to the region's characteristic rock outcroppings and rolling topography. The design emphasizes strategic variety rather than relentless difficulty, though the property's natural features ensure that club selection and course management remain central throughout the round. The routing takes advantage of the mountainous landscape to present holes that climb, descend, and traverse slopes, with fairways often framed tightly by mature trees. Several holes incorporate rock formations and natural water features, while others open to views across the surrounding Laurentian peaks. The design reflects a regional approach to mountain golf in Quebec, where courses must work within forested properties and accommodate substantial elevation shifts while maintaining playability for resort and member traffic. La Bête serves both the Mont-Tremblant resort community and a regional membership, functioning within the area's established golf tourism market. The course fits into the Laurentians' tradition of woodland layouts that balance scenic mountain settings with the practical demands of a northern climate and a relatively short playing season.
