Golf Whitlock
About this course
Golf Whitlock sits in Hudson, a historic town along the Ottawa River west of Montreal, where the landscape transitions from the St. Lawrence lowlands into rolling, wooded terrain. Graham Cooke designed the facility with two distinct nines—South and North—that can be combined into an 18-hole round. The property takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree cover typical of this part of the Laurentians' southern edge, where hardwood forests and occasional wetland areas shape the routing possibilities. Cooke, a Canadian architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, built numerous courses across Quebec and Ontario, often working with modest budgets to create playable layouts that respect existing topography. His designs tend toward straightforward strategy rather than severe hazards, emphasizing position off the tee and approach angles into greens. At Whitlock, the South and North nines likely reflect this philosophy, offering a mix of doglegs through trees, elevation-based shot values, and greens that reward accuracy over distance. Hudson's location makes the course accessible to both Montreal-area residents and cottage-country visitors heading toward the Laurentians. The club operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming outside play alongside its membership. The combination of Cooke's practical design approach and the natural setting provides a regional option for golfers seeking tree-lined, traditional parkland golf in the Ottawa River corridor.

Getting there
The journey to Golf Whitlock begins at Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, a comfortable forty-minute drive west into the rolling countryside of Quebec's Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. The route traces the northern shore of Lac des Deux Montagnes, where the urban sprawl of Greater Montreal gradually yields to farmland, forest, and the quiet residential charm of Hudson - a bilingual enclave known for its English heritage and unhurried pace. Those arriving by private aircraft can touch down at Montréal-Saint-Hubert Longueuil Airport or arrange for closer access via smaller regional strips, though the drive from Trudeau remains the most direct path to this discreet retreat along the Ottawa River corridor.
