6 must-see golf courses in Quebec
From Montreal to Bic, via Charlevoix and Gaspésie, Quebec has magnificent golf courses that have nothing to envy to the rest of the world. Enjoy it this summer!
FAIRMONT LE MANOIR RICHELIEU GOLF CLUB, CHARLEVOIX Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, this 27-hole golf course offers spectacular scenery in addition to a perfect playing experience. You will cross a panoramic path to get to the clubhouse before taking an electric cart along a wooded and mountainous path with an exceptional view of the river.
LAVAL-SUR-LE-LAC GOLF CLUB
Club Laval-sur-le-Lac is one of the most prestigious private golf clubs in North America. It offers two golf courses with exceptional surroundings for golfers of all levels. The Green course offers uneven terrain with hills and plateaus, century-old trees and strategically placed deep bunkers. The Blue course is inspired by the architecture of the prestigious courses of the Sandbelt region in Australia. Its hilly terrain as well as its fairways with bends will appeal to long hitters who will venture around them.
FAIRMONT LE CHÂTEAU MONTEBELLO GOLF CLUB, MONTEBELLO (OUTAOUAIS)
The Fairmont Le Château Montebello Golf Club is renowned for its demanding course. Designed by Stanley Thompson in 1931, the latter has paths that wind through the forest as well as spectacular drop-offs. Several departures in height offer a breathtaking view of the surrounding hilly regions. Unlike most courses today, each of the fairways feels isolated, creating an intimate atmosphere.
GOLF CHATEAU-BROMONT, EASTERN TOWNSHIPS
One of the five most beautiful courses in Quebec, Golf Château-Bromont has built a solid reputation for the quality of its facilities, its championship course and its impeccable customer service. It will host the Canadian Open (PGA) qualifier in May and the Quebec Open (PGA TOUR Canada) next July. In addition, particular care is taken with the environment; the golf course thus has sites for monarchs and a wild habitat for roe deer. Several packages including accommodation are offered.
GOLF CARLETON-SUR-MER, GASPESIE
Cradled to the south by the sea and protected to the north by the mountains, the 18-hole course of Golf Carleton-sur-Mer offers picturesque viewpoints reminiscent of those on postcards. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned golfer, this course will take you through a whole range of emotions.
BIC GOLF CLUB, BAS-SAINT-LAURENT
Located a few kilometers from Rimouski, on the outskirts of Bic National Park, the Bic Golf Club is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful green courses in the world. Experienced players and amateurs alike will appreciate it as much for its 18-hole course with well thought-out challenges as for its enchanting decor.
