About this course

Club de golf de Murray Bay, located in La Malbaie along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, is one of Quebec's oldest golf clubs, established in 1876. The course sits in the Charlevoix region, an area known for its dramatic topography where the Canadian Shield meets the river valley. The nine-hole layout occupies rolling terrain with views across the St. Lawrence, and the property reflects the character of early Canadian golf clubs that developed in resort communities frequented by wealthy families from Montreal and the northeastern United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The course has undergone modifications over its long history, with various architects contributing to its evolution. The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes in the area, moving through a landscape of mature trees and open fairways. The compact nature of the nine-hole design is typical of clubs from this era, where golf was one component of a broader summer resort experience in the Charlevoix region. Murray Bay remains a seasonal club that preserves the traditions of early Canadian golf. The clubhouse and grounds maintain a connection to the area's heritage as a destination for summer visitors, and the course continues to serve both members and guests who come to the region. The setting in La Malbaie, with its proximity to the river and the surrounding Charlevoix landscape, provides a distinctive backdrop for golf in this historic corner of Quebec.
