Le Grand Vallon at Golf Le Grand Vallon

Le Grand Vallon sits in Beaupré, Quebec, along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River approximately thirty kilometers east of Quebec City. The course occupies terrain at the base of the Laurentian Mountains, where the landscape transitions from the river valley to the rising foothills. Howard Watson designed the layout to work with the natural elevation changes and wooded character of the site, creating a routing that moves through mature forest and opens occasionally to views of the surrounding mountains and river valley below.

The course plays through varied topography, with holes that climb, descend, and traverse slopes characteristic of the region's glacially-shaped terrain. Fairways are typically framed by dense stands of mixed hardwood and coniferous trees, and the design incorporates natural features including rock outcroppings and elevation-based strategic elements. The property's position in the Charlevoix region places it within an area known for dramatic scenery where the Canadian Shield meets the St. Lawrence, and the course reflects this setting in its routing and hole corridors.

Le Grand Vallon serves both local membership and visiting golfers exploring the Quebec City region. The facility operates within the context of Quebec's golf season, which runs from late spring through autumn, and the course represents one of several layouts in the greater Quebec City area that take advantage of the region's distinctive topography and forest character.
