Eastern Townships

**The Saint** · 07-19-2005 08:22 AM

Looking to golf in the Eastern townships. Does anyone have any information of stay & play courses, or deals on packages in the Eastern townships. Looking to go mid August.

Thanks

Courses to play in surrounding area: Royal Bromont, Cowansville Golf Club, Owl's Head.

I played Cowansville and it's a great track of golf, and very affordable.

Worked at Owl's Head..beautiful setting Graham Cooke design....conditions generally OK but not always up to the standard you would expect from the setting......Cowansville is a must ....awesome public course ..traditional big solid golf course and usually in terrific condition and very reasonable proce. Enjoy

Out that way I have played Farnham and Les Legendes in St-Luc.
Both are decent courses.

My father-in-law,lives there.(Townships)

He tells me that there is a 9-hole course that charges 13.00 all you can play!
Anyone know of this?
Anybody ever been there?

The townships is pretty big, can you/or your father-in-law narrow it down to a town or village?

I think he said in Barrie?(Not sure on the spelling of Barrie)
I would assume its near Lennoxville/Sherbrooke

**The Saint** · 08-09-2005 08:29 AM

Thanks everyone...

Starting Monday the tour plan is to play Royal Bromont, Tuesday-Chateau Bromont, Wedenesday-Owl's Head and Thursday-Cowansville..... Hopefully the weather cooperates...One of these courses we may play twice....any suggestions?

I played a course in Bury about 7 years ago, was a nine hole course, nothing special. There is a 9 hole course in Lennoxville, The Old Lennoxville Golf Club, but it does not offer "pay for 9 and play all day" programs.

Bury or Lennoxville you're asking about?

**covanant** · 08-10-2005 08:04 AM

Bury

Like I said, nothing special. Only played once, but I remember this short Par 3 that is wickedly elevated, it's only about 80 yards, but with the elevation, you can putt it down the hill, we tried it for laughs!

It is Bury about 20 miles outside of Lennixville. Many tracks in the Sherbrooke/Lennoxville area, dirt cheap and great lodging around as well. I am from Sherbrooke originally.

**covanant** · 07-12-2007 08:56 PM

Yeah thats the place.Played Milby once..great course.

That's where my grandfather taught me the game and I played until I was 18, man I'd love to gp back and play there again. I remember the 15th was the "monster" par 5 at 525 yards lol.

I've played nicer courses, but the layout is right up there. There's a couple hohum holes, especially on the back, 16 and 17.

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and to golf too!!

On the Canada day holiday I was camping on the Mont Orford park and spent an afternoon playing on its course. I'd recommend it!!!

After 15h it costs only $15!!! Well kept course with a few challenging greens and lots of fun!

Reviving an oldie here, but just a heads up since no one mentioned it - another great Townships course is Dufferin Heights, in Stanstead. Stanstead is about 15 minutes south of Magog by the highway. The course is a very hilly one, so if you're in a hurry or have heart conditions you should consider a cart.

It is a short, but challenging track, but the thing that sets it off are the views. Because you are on top of a hill, you often are on t-boxes with views of half the lakes and ski hills in the region. The 10th hole is probably my favorite I have played yet. The price is also very interesting.

Milby has declined over the past 10 years or so - I don't know if they have done much to improve it.

North Hatley is cute for a friendly 9.

Baldwin Mills is nuts, with slabs of granite sticking out of the fairways on the back nine - it is in Lac Lyster.

I am not sure if it is the Bury course or another, but there is one of those little 9 holes with the same pay and play all day deals - the great thing is they don't have a liquor liscence...the have a fridge full of beer and a jar with a suggested "donation" to a cause for each beer you drink.

For a place to stay that's nice and memorable try North Hatley. Great area with cheap golfing. I love the area just wishI played more golf when i was at school. (Instead of n golf)
