The Blue Course at Royal Montreal Golf Club, site of the 2024 Presidents Cup, was designed by Dick Wilson and opened in 1959. It was renovated by Rees Jones in 2004 and again before this Presidents Cup by PGA Tour Design Services.
This will be the second Presidents Cup for Royal Montreal. The U.S. team beat the Internationals 19.5-14.5 in the 2007 Presidents Cup on the Blue Course.
The Blue Course will play to a par of 70 at 7,319 yards for this Presidents Cup.
The Royal Montreal Golf Club is the oldest golf club in North America, having been founded in 1873. In 1895 it was one of five clubs to form the Royal Canadian Golf Association. The club has changed locations twice, moving to its current site on the island of Île Bizard in 1959. The club has 45 holes in total on the shoreline of Lake of Two Mountains.
