Windmill Heights at Windmill Heights Golf Club

Windmill Heights Golf Club sits in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, a municipality on Île Perrot in the Montérégie region west of Montreal. The course was designed by John Watson, a Canadian architect active in Quebec during the mid-to-late twentieth century, whose work includes several layouts in the province's suburban and regional markets. The setting on Île Perrot, an island formed by the Ottawa River and Lake Saint-Louis, provides a relatively flat to gently rolling landscape typical of the St. Lawrence lowlands.

The course serves the residential communities of the West Island and Vaudreuil-Soulanges areas, offering a parkland-style layout with tree-lined fairways and water features that reflect the island's proximity to surrounding waterways. Watson's design approach typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating natural terrain and vegetation into the routing. Windmill Heights operates as a semi-private or public-access facility, catering to both members and daily-fee players in a region with a strong tradition of accessible golf.

The club's name references the historic windmills that once dotted Île Perrot during the French colonial period, though the course itself is a modern development. It remains a local option for golfers seeking convenient access from Montreal's western suburbs, with a layout that balances challenge and accessibility in a mature parkland environment.
