Golf Grand-Mère
One of Canada's oldest golf courses, Club de golf Grand-Mère is an 18-hole semi-private parkland layout in Grand-Mère, Quebec.
Club de golf Grand-Mère is one of Canada's oldest golf courses, an 18-hole semi-private parkland layout situated in Grand-Mère, Quebec. The course dates to 1910, with the full layout taking shape between 1912 and 1921 under the hands of three designers: Walter Travis, Albert Murray, and C.H. Alison. That pedigree alone makes it a rare artifact in Canadian golf.
The layout measures 6,457 yards and plays to a par of 70 across undulating terrain shaded by mature trees. Deep sand bunkers and sloped greens define the design character, and all 18 original green complexes remain intact — a genuine point of distinction for a course of this age. The Travis-designed 4th hole, a 300-yard par 4, offers one of the layout's most memorable moments: the tee shot must carry a ridge before finding a saddle-shaped green, demanding precise ball-striking over a short but deceptive distance.
Grand-Mère suits golfers drawn to historic design and classic parkland conditions. The intact original green complexes reward players who study contour and club selection, while the mature tree-lined corridors keep errant shots honest. At 6,457 yards, the course is approachable for a wide range of handicaps, though the sloped greens and strategic bunkering ensure par is always earned.
