Golf Courses of the Gatineau Valley, 1903-1933

--November 26, 2021.

The cover photograph for this book, Gatineau Valley Golf Courses, 1903 – 1933, shows Anson Green about to strike a tee shot at the Larrimac Golf Club in 1930, seven years after the first golf shot was struck on these golf grounds. It turns out that today the golf course of the Larrimac Golf and Tennis Club is the last survivor of at least sixteen golf courses laid out in the Gatineau Valley between 1903 and 1933.

There were four different golf courses laid out at Kingsmere between 1903 and the 1920s.
