Royal Montreal Golf Club's Red Course, designed by Dick Wilson and opened in 1959, occupies rolling terrain on Île Bizard in the Lake of Two Mountains, northwest of downtown Montreal. Wilson, known for his strategic designs across North America, created a layout that takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and mature tree cover. The course replaced Royal Montreal's original facility at Dixie, making it part of the club's relocation to this island setting where it shares the property with the Blue Course. The Red Course features Wilson's characteristic emphasis on strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward precise approach play. The routing moves through corridors of hardwoods and evergreens, with several holes playing along or across moderate slopes. Water comes into play on select holes, and the design requires thoughtful club selection given the elevation changes and Wilson's placement of hazards to challenge specific landing areas. Royal Montreal, established in 1873, is the oldest golf club in North America and carries a distinguished competitive history. The club has hosted numerous Canadian Opens and other national championships, though these events have primarily been contested on the Blue Course. The Red Course serves as the club's second eighteen and provides members with a complementary layout that maintains Wilson's design principles while offering a different test from its companion course. The club's heritage and traditional membership culture reflect its long-standing position in Canadian golf.
