With over a century’s worth of history and a pair of championship-caliber golf courses nestled in its 500-acre property, Lachute (Club de golf) stands definitively as a premier golf facility in the nation. Founded in 1923, the course’s original 18-hole design was crafted and completed through the work of renowned Canadian architect Stanley Thompson in 1949. A dozen years later and with inspiration from Thompson, Lachute native Howard Watson designed the property’s second course, stretching over 7,000 yards and providing another stout test for golfers of all levels. Watson was inducted to the Quebec Golf Hall of Fame as a builder in 2021.  

Lachute (Club de golf) has hosted numerous major golf tournaments throughout its history, including the 1977 Peter Jackson Classic (now known as the CPKC Women’s Open) won by World Golf Hall of Famer Judy Rankin of St. Louis, Mo. In addition to the LPGA TOUR great, the course’s greens have also been graced by the presence of other legends in the game, including Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Nick Price among the many to tee off at one of Quebec’s finest golf locations.

The participants are in for a treat as the course is in excellent condition and the forecast looks amazing,” said Bill Bilton, Owner & Head Professional, The Dunes at Kamloops. “Players will be challenged with true U.K. links style fairways, rolling hills and natural fescue. We eagerly await the opening tee shot and making new friends during the event.”

First conducted in 2021 at Humber Valley Golf Course in Toronto, Ont., the competition supports Golf Canada’s commitment to create a more inclusive and respectful sport environment across the Canadian golf community.
