Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Golf Club - Richelieu & Tadoussac
Englishman Herbert Strong constructed the original course the Fairmont Manoir Richelieu hotel and US President William H. Taft officially opened it in 1925.
The 27 holes of the golf course complex sit around a mile above the Fairmont Manoir Richelieu hotel and the climb along a winding road to the clubhouse offers some stunning long views over the mighty St Lawrence River below.
Englishman Herbert Strong – who had already designed the likes of Engineers in New York and Canterbury in Ohio – constructed the original 18-hole course and US President William H. Taft officially opened the layout in 1925 on one of his regular summer vacations in the Pointe-au-Pic region.
The hotel and the course were extensively renovated at the end of the 1990s when Darrell Huxham extended the golf facility, adding a new 9-hole circuit to the old Tadoussac and Richelieu nines.
The new St Laurent nine is not long and it includes three relatively short par threes plus a par five (at the 3rd hole) that’s reachable in two shots, making it one of the most engaging holes at the resort.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
