Richelieu/Tadoussac at Golf Manoir Richelieu

Golf Manoir Richelieu sits on a dramatic bluff above the St. Lawrence River in La Malbaie, Quebec, approximately ninety minutes northeast of Quebec City in the Charlevoix region. The course was designed by Canadian architect Darrell Huxham and opened in 1925, serving as the centerpiece amenity for the historic Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu resort. The property occupies elevated terrain that provides sweeping views across the river valley, with the routing taking advantage of the natural topography and the striking riverside setting that characterizes this section of the Charlevoix coast.

The layout measures over 6,000 yards from the back tees and plays as a traditional parkland design with significant elevation changes throughout the round. Several holes run along or near the cliff edge, offering dramatic perspectives of the St. Lawrence far below. The course features tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and greens that reflect the design sensibilities of the 1920s era. The terrain creates a variety of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies that add complexity to club selection and shot execution.

The course serves resort guests and members alike, maintaining its role as a destination layout within the broader Charlevoix tourism region. The Fairmont property itself has a long history as a retreat for travelers seeking the natural beauty and cultural heritage of French-speaking Quebec. The combination of historic resort atmosphere, riverside scenery, and classic golf architecture gives the course its distinctive regional character.
