Mont Cascades

Mont Cascades sits in the Gatineau Hills just north of Ottawa, in a part of Quebec where the Canadian Shield breaks the surface and the land gets genuinely rugged. Cantley is a small municipality tucked into the forested ridges of the Outaouais region — better known to most Canadians as ski country, home to Mont Cascades ski hill, which shares the same hillside. That geography is the defining fact of this golf course: you're playing on a mountain, not merely near one.

That terrain shapes everything. Expect significant elevation change, tight tree-lined corridors of boreal forest, and holes that climb, drop, and bend around the contours of the Shield. Par 70 here almost certainly reflects the land itself — short enough to route through dramatic topography without forcing awkward compromises.

The Gatineau Hills attract Ottawa-Gatineau residents looking to escape the valley's summer heat, and the region has a loyal, year-round recreational culture. This is a course where the scenery competes hard with the scorecard for your attention.
