Elm Ridge Country Club was founded in 1924
and it’s one of three Montreal golf clubs formed by members of the Jewish
community who were previously restricted from belonging to other clubs (the two
others are Hillsdale and Pinegrove). The club’s initial 9-hole course was extended to a full 18-hole layout within three years of its formation and this 18-hole track served the golfing needs of the members until the end of the 1950s, when two new courses were laid out to satisfy the growing demands of a burgeoning membership. Elm Ridge Country Club’s General Manager, Randy Moncrieff, kindly supplied the following comments: The
most difficult hole on our South course is undoubtedly the 9th, playing 443 yards
from our championship tees. The drive is threatened on the left by two large
fairway bunkers and by encroaching trees on the right. To avoid either of these
barriers, a normal drive can’t get the player to the 150-yard mark so players
are, at best, hitting a mid-iron shot into a large well-guarded elevated green that
sits behind a pond. Most golfers will need one if not two clubs extra to reach
the green and a bogey is actually a welcome score here. |
