Serious golfers throughout Canada know that
few courses in the country are as revered as
the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Golf Club.
This unique Quebec golf experience starts with
an exclusive panoramic trail leading directly to
the Clubhouse. While driving your golf cart up
on the 1.5 km trail, golfers enjoy the
magnificent views that are being offered to
them. This unique and uncommon way of
accessing the golf course acquaints you with a
golf experience that is second to none!
The golf course, which is entirely made of
creeping bent grass, counts between 6066
and 6326 yards depending on which course is
played. The three nines offer golfers a design
of greenside and fairway bunkers, and
multitudes of trees and mounds that surround
each reconstructed hole. The fairways, which
seem pretty wide, cannot be taken at ease.
Moreover, putting is by far the biggest
challenge on this Quebec course. Even though
green surfaces are pretty generous, speed and
undulations are two important key features to
master in order to have great success on those
ones. Finesse and precision are the attitudes
to adopt during this portion of your Quebec golf
vacation.
First impressions always last. You will not
be disappointed with the improvements that
the golf course is able to offer to its golfers.
At every point, you will be able to admire
the landscape and the great design that the
St-Lawrence River offers to each visitor. The
panorama is breath taking.
Le Manoir Richelieu golf course was
inaugurated on June 18, 1925 by former U.S.
President William H. Taft, who spent his
summers in the great region of Pointe-au-Pic.
Now in its 10th decade, our revitalized
Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Golf Club invites
you to take a swing-or a few dozen-the next
time you find yourself in the area.
