Laurentian and Mont Tremblant Golf Courses
The Mont Tremblant region adjacent to Mont Blanc has what may be the highest concentrations of scenic mountain golf courses in North America. From lavish courses chiselled out of the forests and glades of the Laurentian mountains, to tranquil tracks that flow along winding clear streams, you will find golf that will challenge, sooth, and inspire you. Two of the most exciting and challenging courses are La Bête and Le Diable. La Bête's elevated plateaus were cut by glaciers during the last ice age making the site ideal for mountain golf, and these were cleverly incorporated into its design. If the holes on Le Géant and Le Diable seem to be glued to the side of the mountain, at La Bête ("the beast") they appear to be carefully chiseled right out of the mountain rock.
La Belle
Gray Rocks La Belle golf course is a classic mountain course. The 'gentler' sister to Tremblant's La Bête (in French La Belle is 'the beauty' and La Bête 'the beast'), with 6270 yards of sculpted fairways, and manicured greens, La Belle is a beautiful traditional course leading you from lush valleys to lofty tees, providing a panoramic view of the area. Experienced players will take strokes off their game, and newcomers learn the joys of the sport.

La Bête
La Bête's breath taking views of the rolling Laurentian landscape and lush green fairways help to build its reputation as one of the best courses in Canada. Only 8 years young, it is also one of the best kept secrets in the region - play it while you can! Because of this natural geology, La Bête seems more pastoral than the nearby Mont Tremblant golf courses, yet is definitely tough and thrilling course. Designed by renowned architect Graham Cooke, whose portfolio includes the award-winning Owl's Head in Mansonville, La Bête plays to a 131 slope and 73 rating from the tips.

Royal Laurentian
Royal Laurentian is a challenging golf course, with 80 sand traps and 13 water hazards. The course runs 7,000 yards from the tips, and plays to 128/71.8. Good views of the Laurentian Mountains make this a very enjoyable golf experience. But stay away from the Royal Laurentian if you don't like water - with 16 individually-designed bridges, one waterfall, and even a well on the putting green, water comes into play on 13 of the 18 holes.

Les Ruisseaux
Just 2 minutes from Mont Blanc on the edge of the town of Mont Tremblant is Les Ruisseaux, one of the few forgiving courses in the region. Located just north of Mont Blanc, it has nine holes but four tee boxes on every hole so you never play the same nine. It is also one of the earliest golf courses to open in the province. In April you can ski in the morning and play golf in the afternoon.
