Montreal's long lost golf course is in a place you wouldn't expect

from This is Montreal

You might not know it if you take a stroll through Maisonneuve Park today, but 50 years ago it was something completely different: a championship golf course that hosted the likes of pro golfers Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. CBC’s Douglas Gelevan tells the story of how the course became a park, after a pitched battle that pitted an unusual coalition of golfers and nature lovers against a larger-than-life mayor with Olympic-sized ambitions.
