Ignace Bourget Park is a fairly large city park with much going on including a popular swimming pool, skate park, soccer field, softball fields, hockey rink, dog park and a tubing hill. The course starts near the swimming pool with the first two holes squeezed in beside a 8 foot tall chain link fence. There is a practice basket marked with a P. The baskets are Innova models with the big yellow band. The tee signs are metal ones giving the distance for both the long and short tees. The tee pads are worn places in the grass and are pretty small. They are proof that this course doesn't get a lot of play. There are susposed to be two pads for each hole although I couldn't always find both. The shorts are beginner easy, mostly ACE runs. The longs, when available, are more challenging, mostly because they're often a difficult low tunnel shot. Holes are marked with a single patio block. They're a little tough to find and some were missing.

Navigation was fairly intuitive and natural but I was following the online map. With the # 6 basket AOL, I just went ahead and played from that pad to the # 7 basket.

The # 6 basket is missing. This could be a fairly easy fix. Just replace it with the practice basket.

The # 3 basket now sits in the middle of a dog park. There were no dogs there today so I just played back to it like normal. If dogs are present, I'd suggest playing back to the #2 basket as long there are no other players present. Simple solution? Move the basket. Don't let it go to the dogs!

Holes 1, 2 and 12 all playing next to fences are problematic. I would think many players end up losing discs on the first two holes. # 12 is just not a good design. You're just asking for players to throw over the outfield fence on this hole.

Another problem here were the amount of clueless park patrons, including a guy taking a nap right by the # 11 basket. Huge park and this guy naps right by the basket.

Probably my first question concerning this course would be, Why isn't the tubing hill utilized as a tee pad? It probably is and I just didn't know it. That would have been a fun downhill toss to the # 4 basket!!!!

Montreal only has three courses within about 30 mile radius. There was only one other group playing here this afternoon on a 80 degree summer sunday afternoon. I wasn't really excited about this course. It's pretty ho-hum and could use a good face-lift but if I lived in Montreal, I'd have to learn to speak French, I'd become a hockey fan and you'd probably find me playing this course all of the time.
