Mont Tremblant's reputation as Quebec's premier four-season resort destination extends well beyond skiing, and La Bête — "The Beast" — makes clear that golf is no afterthought here. Designed by Graham Cooke and opened in 1999, the course was built to match the drama of the Laurentian Mountains surrounding it, routing through dense boreal forest and across terrain shaped by glacial history. The name alone signals intent: this is not a course that asks politely.
La Bête earned its reputation as one of the most challenging resort courses in Canada, and golfers who have played it tend to remember it less in terms of numbers than in terms of encounters — with elevation change, with tight tree-lined corridors, with water that appears at precisely the wrong moment. The mountain setting means conditions shift with the seasons, and the fall colour framing the fairways is genuinely spectacular.
The broader Mont Tremblant resort offers a second course, Le Géant, giving visitors a natural contrast and a reason to stay an extra day.
