Through out Quebec’s province we find a great variety of golf courses, for all different tastes. The Montebello’s golf course is one of the  most well attended, but between many options we can select various, like Le Montmorency Golf Club, near the city of Quebec, Le Manoir Richelieu, in the Region of Charlevoix, Les Ruisseaux, in Saint Jovite, one hour away from Montreal.

Each one is located in beautiful scenery, in which nature is preserved, surrounded by forests, taking advantage of the lakes, rivers, cascades. The players get used to see a beaver swimming in a lake, or a raccoon watching where the balls fall, or a deer walking through the green.

Although the season in short, it has been enlarged lately, because the winter is taking longer to arrive. So, according to where the course is located, you can enjoy playing the game from April to October. You can play golf very near from Montreal, but also in the Cantons de l’Est, beautiful region sown land of lakes, with hills that dress in different tones of red during autumn; in the Laurentides, among the mountains where winter ski is practiced; in Mauricie, where elegance is essential; in Charlevoix, place in which  you enjoy good food and the beauty of its villages.

To travel from golf course to golf course is the best way to discover a fabolous region, where refinement is the star of the québécois life style. The top ten are: Beaconsfield, Pinegrove, Royal Montréal, Le Blainvillier (Royal), Laval-sur-le-lac, Joliette, Hillsdale, Summerlea, Elm Ridge, Ilesmere.
