Le Fontainebleau Course
Golf Fontainebleau
About this course
Le Fontainebleau occupies rolling terrain in Blainville, part of the Laurentian foothills north of Montreal. Designed by Graham Cooke and Darrell Huxham, the course takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature woodland corridors typical of the region. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with fairways that follow the land's contours rather than impose artificial shaping. Water features appear on several holes, and the property's natural drainage patterns influence both strategy and aesthetics. The design reflects Cooke and Huxham's approach to working within existing landscapes, emphasizing playability across different skill levels while preserving strategic interest. Greens are moderately contoured, and bunkering tends toward functional placement rather than excessive visual drama. The course serves a membership drawn largely from the greater Montreal area, offering a parkland experience within reasonable distance of the city. Fontainebleau operates as a private club with traditional amenities, and the facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that supports member events and social activity. The Laurentian setting provides a distinct seasonal character, with the course framed by deciduous and coniferous forest that creates both definition and natural beauty. While not a tournament venue of national prominence, Le Fontainebleau represents the kind of thoughtfully designed regional course that serves its membership well without seeking attention beyond its local context.

Getting there
The journey to Golf Fontainebleau begins at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), a comfortable forty-minute drive northwest into the Laurentian foothills. The route traces Highway 15 as it climbs gently away from the island city, trading urban density for the rolling, forested terrain of the Lower Laurentians. By the time you reach Blainville, the landscape has softened into a quieter rhythm of wooded ridges and open valleys, and the club emerges as a serene retreat just beyond the northern suburbs - close enough to Montréal for convenience, far enough to feel like an escape into the Québécois countryside.
