Top Golf Courses in Cantons-de-l'Est (Eastern Townships)

Designed by Graham Cooke and Darrell Huxham, Club de golf Owl's Head sits in the hills above Mansonville with 6,568 yards of resort-caliber golf at its disposal. The signature short par three — a peninsula green exposed to whatever the lake winds decide to deliver that day — encapsulates the course's tendency to make modest yardages feel genuinely demanding. For a resort track in the Eastern Townships, it sets the standard.

The second Cooke-Huxham entry in the region, Golf Dufferin Heights earns its high placement through a combination of design intelligence and panoramic drama. Its standout par three plays 173 yards to a green cut into a hillside, with Lake Memphremagog, Owl's Head, and Jay Peak spread across the horizon. At 6,167 yards from Stanstead-Est, elevation and exposure keep scores honest despite the modest length.

Club de Golf Milby is among the region's most established layouts, designed by Howard Watson and opened in Sherbrooke in 1964. Playing to par 73 across 6,712 yards of parkland, it offers length and maturity in equal measure. Watson's routing has had six decades to settle into the landscape, and the semi-private club has maintained it well — a reliable anchor for any Sherbrooke-area golf itinerary.

At 6,871 yards, Golf Val-des-Sources is the longest course on this list and another Howard Watson design, built in 1967 in Val-des-Sources. The parkland routing stretches the card meaningfully, making it the right choice for golfers who want a genuine distance test alongside mature tree-lined corridors. Watson's work here complements his layout at Milby and makes a two-course Howard Watson day a real possibility.

Golf Waterloo offers two distinct 18-hole experiences — Le Waterloo and Le Napoléon — through wooded parkland terrain near Waterloo. Combined, the facility stretches to nearly 6,900 yards on Le Napoléon alone. That course even includes a practice hole dubbed "Hole Zero," giving players a chance to dial in their swing before the card starts. The wooded corridors demand placement off the tee throughout both layouts.

Club de golf du Manoir des Sables delivers a championship-caliber resort experience from its Mont-Orford base, playing 6,352 yards at par 72. The resort setting makes it a natural pairing with a multi-night stay in the area, and its proximity to Mont-Orford National Park means the surrounding landscape is anything but ordinary. A reliable choice for resort golfers anchoring a trip around the Orford corridor.

Club de golf Mont-Orford occupies a genuinely singular address — a par-72 parkland layout set within Mont-Orford National Park. At 6,017 yards the course plays shorter than several regional competitors, but the national park setting gives rounds here a character that pure yardage cannot measure. For golfers who want to combine golf with the park's broader draw, this is the obvious choice.

Established in 1962, Coaticook is one of the older public courses in the Eastern Townships, playing 6,132 yards at par 72 in the town of the same name. The 18th tee delivers scenic views to close a round, and the public access and established routing make it a dependable stop for road-trippers passing through the southern edge of the region.

Golf et Académie Longchamp has been part of the Sherbrooke golf landscape since 1972, offering 6,512 yards of parkland golf at par 72. The academy component makes it a natural fit for golfers looking to work on their game mid-trip, and the central Sherbrooke location slots it easily into a multi-course Eastern Townships itinerary.

Club de Golf des Lacs rounds out the list as a compact executive layout in Bromont, playing to par 43 across 2,871 yards. Designed to accommodate various skill levels, it offers a lower-stakes option in a town better known for skiing and cycling. A useful warm-up round or beginner-friendly afternoon option within the Bromont resort area.
