About this course

Golf Les Vieilles Forges is located in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, along the Saint-Maurice River valley in the Mauricie region. The course takes its name from the historic iron forges that once operated in the area, reflecting the industrial heritage of the region. The setting combines the natural topography of the river valley with mature woodland, offering a landscape typical of central Quebec's transition between the Canadian Shield and the St. Lawrence lowlands. The course is a semi-private facility that serves both members and visiting golfers, with a welcoming character oriented toward the regional golfing community. The layout works through tree-lined corridors and rolling terrain, with the river valley's natural elevation changes providing routing variety. Water hazards, including the Saint-Maurice River itself, come into play on several holes and add strategic interest to the design. The course maintains the kind of understated, functional aesthetic common to well-established regional clubs in Quebec, prioritizing playability and course conditioning over architectural showmanship. Les Vieilles Forges has hosted regional and provincial competitions over its history and serves as a home course for serious amateur golfers in the Trois-Rivières area. The club's dining and social facilities reflect its role as a community golf destination, with an emphasis on accessibility and local membership. The course appeals to golfers seeking a genuine regional experience rather than a destination resort setting.
