Le Manoir Richelieu Golf Club - Richelieu Course Scorecard and Tees

It's been called one of the finest golf courses in Canada. Perched high above the majestic St. Lawrence River, Richelieu Course at Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Golf Club follows the scenic lay of the land, creating a superb and challenging golf course.

Golfing at Richelieu Course at Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Golf Club dates back to 1923, when guests could golf on a nine-hole course designed by golf pro Harry Black. The golf course was set on agricultural land several kilometers from the hotel.

With the growing popularity of the game and the Charlevoix area as well, the Canada Steamship Lines, that was owning the resort, decided to invest in a new golf course, which would be more accessible and far more spectacular. Architect Herbert Strong was hired to design the new green gem that was opened in 1925 and inaugurated by William H. Taft. Strong had already designed Lakeview in Toronto, as well as Inwood and The Engineers on Long Island.

Strong’s incomparable golf course was carefully laid out over the rolling hills by the Manoir, overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence. In 1929, a golf columnist wrote that the course offered “something of an aerial view, as though one had been invited to hit balls from one cloud to another.”
