History
Heiko Dechau, local chef at the l'Île de France auberge and disc golfer, pitched the idea of a disc golf course to then Camp Nominingue director Grant McKenna, who in turn reached out to the Association de Développement de Nominingue (ADN) and the municipality of Nominingue. Approximately twenty local volunteers helped create the course.
Tournaments
A longer, temporary course called Club et Hôtel du golf Nominingue DGC was set up approximately 2 km North of Camp Nominingue DGC proper to host the PDGA-sanctioned Le Phé-Nominingue tournament in October 2019.{{Cite web|url=https://linformationdunordvalleedelarouge.ca/actualites/2019/10/17/le-tournoi-de-disc-golf-se-tient-en-fin-de-semaine.html|title=Le tournoi de disc-golf se tient en fin de semaine|last=Mc Gregor|first=Ronald|website=L'Information du Nord Vallée de la Rouge|language=fr-QC|access-date=2020-01-19}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/municipalitenominingue/posts/3211101325581780|title=Tournoi provincial de disc golf à Nominingue|last=Municipalité Nominingue|website=www.facebook.com|language=fr|access-date=2020-01-07}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/38982|title=Le Phé-NOMININGUE - Flex Start - North - Golf course|website=Professional Disc Golf Association|language=en|access-date=2020-01-07}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Le_Ph_NOMININGUE_Flex_Start_North_Golf_course_2019|title=Le Phé-NOMININGUE - Flex Start - North - Golf course|website=Disc Golf Scene|language=en|access-date=2020-01-07}} The tournament consisted of one round at the Camp Nominingue Disc Golf Course and two rounds at the Club et Hôtel du golf Nominingue DGC.{{Cite web|url=https://linformationdunordvalleedelarouge.ca/sports/2019/10/29/vif-succes-pour-le-tournoi-provincial-de-disc-golf-a-nominingue.html|title=Vif succès pour le tournoi provincial de disc-golf à Nominingue|last=Mc Gregor|first=Ronald|website=L'Information du Nord Vallée de la Rouge|language=fr-QC|access-date=2020-01-19}} The latter was designed by Christopher Lowcock on most of the land of the Club et Hôtel du Golf Nominingue ball golf course and featured temporary Prodigy baskets.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pdga.com/tour/event/39002|title=Le Phé-NOMININGUE powered by Prodigy Disc Canada|website=Professional Disc Golf Association|language=en|access-date=2020-01-07}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/Le_Ph_NOMININGUE_powered_by_Prodigy_Disc_Canada_S5_000_added_cash_2019|title=Le Phé-NOMININGUE powered by Prodigy Disc Canada|website=Disc Golf Scene|language=en|access-date=2020-01-07}}
