Golf Saint Raphael

What Golf Saint Raphael does

Golf Saint-Raphaël is a privately held golf club and event venue operating since 1993 on Île Bizard, Quebec, minutes from Montreal. The venue centers on two 18-hole, par-72 championship courses — the Red Course (opened 1993, designed by Graham Cooke and later redesigned by Neil Haworth) and the Blue Course (opened 2004, the first Quebec design by Haworth at 6,859 yards) — set within the Île-Bizard nature park. Beyond golf, the venue operates Restaurant Le Saint-Raphaël, an Italian-inspired dining concept with themed evenings (BBQ, Pasta, Mussels), a wine bar, and a full bar, plus a 4,000 sq ft terrace used for events.

The business generates revenue from four primary streams: recurring green fees and membership dues, tournament hosting (capacity 300 golfers) for associations, companies, and foundations, restaurant and bar service, and wedding and corporate event hosting (up to 260 guests). Distribution is direct and on-site, supported by two third-party SaaS platforms — GGGolf for tee-time and membership booking, and LibroReserve for restaurant reservations. The club employs 11-50 staff and is led operationally by an Executive Chef (Erik Mandracchia), a Sales Director, and a Sales Coordinator.

The business is seasonal in Quebec, opening for the season on May 4, 2026, which is the primary commercial rhythm. Marketing is conducted through the company's website, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram channels, emphasizing course quality, dining, and event hosting. No external funding, M&A activity, or public listing is disclosed; the operation appears to be a privately held, single-site hospitality and recreation business with mature, multi-revenue operations but limited expansion data.

Emerging players

• Topgolf: Tech-enabled golf entertainment concept that competes for casual-golfer and corporate-event spending outside traditional course settings. Relevant because their growth poses medium-term demand pressure on traditional Quebec clubs like Saint-Raphaël.

Direct peers

• Club de golf Métropolitan: Greater Montreal course focused on public play, leagues, tournaments, and on-site bistro. Comparable mix of green-fee revenue and casual hospitality with shared corporate-tournament pipeline.
• Beaconsfield Golf Club: West-Island Montreal golf club with on-site dining, tournaments, and private/social events. Comparable member-services and event-hosting model serving the same demographic.
• Club de golf Laval-sur-le-Lac: Long-standing private club on Île Bizard's neighboring island in greater Montreal with championship course, member dining, and tournament/event hosting. Directly competes for the same Montreal-area golfers and corporate tournament dollars.
• Club de golf Deux-Montagnes: Greater Montreal-area course with clubhouse restaurant and tournament hosting. Overlaps directly with Saint-Raphaël on green-fee, casual-dining, and corporate tournament segments.
• Summerlea Golf & Country Club: Montreal-area club with full course, restaurant, banquet hall, and wedding hosting. Comparable multi-revenue operating model targeting overlapping members and event clients.
• Club de golf Le Fontainebleau: Quebec public/semi-private golf club also offering restaurant, tournament hosting, and wedding/event services near Montreal. Directly comparable two-course operation with comparable membership and event revenue mix.
• Elm Ridge Country Club: Family-oriented country club on Île Bizard offering golf, pool, dining, and event hosting. Head-to-head competitor for members and wedding/social events on the same island.

Broad incumbents

• Royal Montreal Golf Club: Canada's oldest golf club and the dominant premium private club in the greater Montreal area. Sets the upper-tier competitive benchmark for membership, tournaments, and high-end event hosting in the same Quebec market.

Regional players

• Pinegrove Golf Club: Quebec-region golf club with course, restaurant, and event-hosting services. Comparable operating model but located farther upriver in the Quebec City corridor rather than Montreal.
