About this course
Golf Sainte-Agathe occupies rolling terrain in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec, approximately 80 miles northwest of Montreal. The course was designed by Willie Park Jr., the Scottish architect and two-time Open Championship winner who created layouts across North America in the early twentieth century. Park's work in Canada included several courses in Quebec and Ontario during a period when golf was expanding rapidly in the province's resort regions. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of the Laurentians, with elevation changes and mature tree cover framing the holes. The landscape reflects the transition zone between the St. Lawrence lowlands and the Canadian Shield, giving the course a mix of hardwood forest and rocky outcroppings typical of the region. Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts developed as a resort destination in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and golf became part of the recreational offerings that drew visitors from Montreal and beyond. The course serves both members and visitors in a region known for its lakes and seasonal tourism. The club operates within the traditional Quebec golf season, which runs from late spring through mid-autumn. The setting provides views of the surrounding mountains and reflects the character of Laurentian golf, where courses often incorporate natural features and wooded corridors into their designs.

Getting there
The journey to Golf Sainte-Agathe begins at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International (YUL), roughly ninety minutes south of the Laurentian highlands. The northbound drive along Autoroute 15 traces the historic gateway to Quebec's cottage country, gradually ascending through rolling farmland before the landscape shifts into forested ridges and glacial lakes. As the highway gives way to the charming main street of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts - the self-proclaimed "Queen of the Laurentians" - the final turn reveals the club's elevated perch above Lac des Sables, a serene arrival into one of the region's most storied mountain retreats.
