The History and Experience of the Royal Montreal Golf Course

If you are visiting Quebec and enjoy the lifestyle of golfing, you will not want to miss the Royal Montreal Golf Course. Aside from the rich past that soaks this place with meaningful history, there are golf courses that you will never forget. Here we will look at a brief history of the Royal Montreal Golf Course as well as some information about the courses you will find here.

History

The Royal Montreal Golf Course was founded in 1873 when eight men also formed the Montreal Golf Club. The Club moved a few times, in 1896 it moved to Dixie in the parish of Dorval. Now you can find the Queen of Angels Academy for Girls at the Dixie clubhouse location.

In 1959 the Club moved to Ile Blizard and 45 holes were made, where they still stand and are very highly ranked among the golf courses of the world.

Most recently, in 2007, Royal Montreal hosted the Presidents Cup. During this event, the best non-European players of the world competed in an international team against the top 12 PGA tour players in the United States. There is really no end to the rich history of the Royal Montreal Golf Course!

The Courses

The Blue Course

The Blue Course is challenging and requires that you are not a beginner in order to succeed at it. The greens are tiered and have been since the course was renovated in 2004 by Rees Jones. The 14th hole was the most popular during the President's Cup making it a great place for new memories and great golf successes.

The Blue Course is by far the most famous and well-known at the Royal Montreal Golf Course. The other holes are still wonderful golfing opportunities, which we will discuss here.

The Red Course

This course is a wonderful challenge for golf players who want to test their accuracy. The greens are smaller and close together, making them a great test of accuracy.

The Dixie Course

The Dixie Course is the finest choice for the beginner players. Whether they are young or elderly, they can find this course to be a wonderful test for developing their new skills. While golfing, it is important to always find a course that you feel comfortable with, especially if you are beginning. If you happen to be a master golfer but want to bring along a person who is newer at the game, this would be a great place to go. You can test your skills on the challenging courses while they can feel good about themselves by succeeding at the Dixie Course.

Canada is home to many famous and glorious golf courses. The Royal Montreal Golf Club is a great place to go when you like to experience your golfing alongside a rich historical presence. It is a great place to go for all of these reasons, especially if you have someone with you who wants an easier course as well since it has a little something for everyone.
