The region welcomes about forty golf courses and is, without a doubt, a prime destination for adepts of the sport. Why? Gilles Péloquin, former president of the Association régionale de golf des Cantons-de-l’Est, shares his thoughts on the matter with us.
According to the expert, the Townships are without a doubt one of the best golf destinations in the province. “The beauty of our grounds and their diversity are truly impressive,” he says. “Their design is also very interesting for golfers. Furthermore, the courses are spacious, well kept and the landscapes surrounding them are exceptional. People can enjoy scenery they won’t find anywhere else.”
“Golf, in our region is still very popular,” states Gilles Peloquin. “The younger generation is present. Plus, there are many more women playing than before. As for men, the numbers are stable but memberships have gone down. I think it’s because people practise many more activities than before.”
In Quebec, there are more than 1 million active players.
Gilles Péloquin has only good things to say about the region’s golf courses. However, we still asked him to give us a few recommendations.
“The grounds are exceptional,” he says. “It’s not for nothing that so many important events are held here.
