Golf was first played in Montreal in 1871 on the pasturelands of Mount Royal Park, two years prior to the club's grand opening. The club's first course was a 9-hole layout on Fletcher's Field in Mount Royal Park, on the then outskirts of Montreal, where red-coated golfers shared the grounds with the public. The passages do not state whether this course was laid out before or after the club's formal establishment.
