Club de Golf Malanquin
Played On 02/24/2017Challenging but fun course
This course is longer and more challenging than the nearby Ventanas course. The courese was once a 9 hole course that recently added a second nine. The front nine is more open and less challenging. The new back nine is very tree lined with tight fairways. You need to be very accurate on this course.
A caddie is mandatory, even with an electric cart. The caddie was helpful reading putts and with club selection. It's a private club but anyone can play. There are no reservations during the week. You just show up when you want.
The course has a nice layout and was in good condition. Trees and water make the course very challenging but is a lot of fun to play.
Ventanas de San Miguel Golf & Resort
Played On 02/21/2017Decent, open course
The course doesn't have much in terms of trees or water, so good scoring is possible. A caddie is mandatory even if you have an electric cart. Caddie was helpful with wind, distances and putting line but had very limited English.
The course is quite open, so you're not punished much if you miss the fairway. The views are nice and some elevation changes to make the course interesting.
I recommend playing the course on a Monday or Tuesday when the price is 60USD. The prices doubles to 120USD Wednesday to Friday and 140USD on the weekend. You can book tee times online, however the reservation page is only in Spanish. Surprising considering most of the site has the option of Spanish or English writing.
Mont Tremblant Resort - Le Geant
Played On 06/11/2016Great course in the mountains of Tremblant
Le Geant is one of the most scenic courses in Quebec. Great views of the tree and rock laden mountains. Very few holes are flat. Most holes have either a steeply downhill or uphill tee or second shot.
Fairways were in great condition. They are very hilly and sloped though, which makes for a lot tricky lies with the ball either above or below your feet. The main challenge comes from the elevation changes as there are wide fairways and few water hazards.
The only drawback is that's it's pricey but deals can be found.
Le Versant - Des Braves
Played On 05/14/2016Fun course close to Montreal
This is one of the three courses at Le Versant. Since most beginners play the shorter and cheaper Des Moulins course Les Braves usually has very good pace of play. On this day we rarely saw anyone behind or in front of us which made for a round of around 4 hours for our group of four walking.
It's not too challenging for intermediate golfers as there are not many water hazards or dog legs. The fairways and greens were in very good shape for this early in the season.
The view of downtown Montreal from top of the hill between the 10th and 11th holes is very scenic.
Club de Golf Atlantide - Atlantide
Played On 05/07/2016Scenic views and nice course
The course was in very good condition for early May. Some holes provide a nice view of the St. Lawrence with downtown off in the distance.
Some of the fairways were a little on the narrow side as I found my ball finding more fairway bunkers than usual. Driving range, chipping and putting area are all conveniently close to first tee so it was easy hear my name being called while warming up.
I paid the early season weekend price of $60. I'd like to play this again but wouldn't pay the regular season weekend price of $82, but would pay the lower weekday price on a day off. For those living west of downtown, the course is easy to get to.
The staff and starters in particular were very friendly. It would be nice if driving range had a grass hitting area instead of only mats.
Le Versant - Des Moulins
Played On 05/07/2016Nice course for the price if your not held up by slow play in front of you
Des Moulins is the shortest and least expensive of the three courses at Le Versant. The early season price of $30 on weekends is great value if there's no slow groups in front, which unfortunately wasn't the case when I played this time.
There were a few foursomes in front with some beginner players that made for waiting about 10 minutes at each tee box. Des Moulins is the course of the three at Le Versant is likely to have the most beginner golfers, but there have been times where pace of play has been good. It depends on the day.
The course has some interesting holes, quite a few dog legs or short holes or where using driver isn't required. The fairways and greens were in good shape.
