Sherbrooke sits at the heart of the Eastern Townships, a region of Quebec where rolling farmland, dense hardwood forests, and a network of lakes define the landscape in every direction. The Townships have long supported a quietly serious golf culture — this is not cottage-country novelty golf but a community where the game has deep local roots and courses are built to be played seriously through a genuinely varied season.
Longchamp operates in that tradition. An 18-hole par-72 layout in this terrain almost certainly moves through elevation changes and tree-lined corridors that reward shot-shaping and local knowledge over raw power. The name itself — borrowed from the famous Parisian racecourse — hints at a certain ambition or flair in how the club presents itself, even if the surroundings are distinctly Québécois.
Playing here in late summer or early fall, when the maple canopy begins to turn, is the kind of experience that reminds you why course conditions and surroundings matter as much as the design itself. For visitors, Sherbrooke is accessible and genuinely underrated as a golf destination.
