BEAUTIFUL BEACONSFIELD
The Beaconsfield Golf Club, located in scenic Pointe-Claire, Quebec, 35km west of Montreal, holds the reputation as being one of the finest competitive golf courses found in Canada.
The century-old club has played host to many national and international championships since its founding in 1904. Set against the impressive backdrop of a former limestone quarry, the well-manicured fairways lined with stately maples provide a tranquil setting for this surprisingly challenging course that demands both stamina and accuracy. The 18th hole, framed by the impressive, sprawling clubhouse is regarded as one of the most exciting and picturesque finishing holes in Canada.
The Club is best known for its annual Pheonix Invitation Tournament, attracting golfers from all over Canada, the United States and Britain to play in the three-day qualifying and championship event.
