QUEBEC, CANADA – The Quebec region boasts some of the best golf courses in Canada. It’s is quickly becoming one of the top golf destinations in Canada, and also offers fantastic culture in Montreal, which is why courses here are popular in golf packages north of the United States border. Here is a roundup of some of the top courses to visit on your next golf vacation:

Le Diable

Long fairways meander through the heart of a red pine forest, punctuated by fiery red sand traps that guard the greens. It’s easy to see why this beautiful and entertaining championship course is named “The Devil,” for the course architects designed lots of personality into the layout and hazards. Host of the 1999 Export A Skins Game, Le Diable has breathtaking views from holes #2, #6 and #15. The devil’s own hole is a never-ending 600-yard par 5 on the 5th.

Le Géant

Its prestigious 4.5 star rating from Golf Digest is an indication of the superb quality of Le Géant. With a Golf Canada ranking of Best New Golf Course in 1997, this impeccably groomed course features split-level plateaus carved out of the mountainside and sweeping vistas from every hole. Look for trouble on the tough par-4, 492-yard 8th hole.

Le Maître

The first Fred Couples Signature Design in Canada, Le Maître is a spectacular addition to the resort courses of Tremblant. Le Maître is unique for a mountain course. Its 105 hectares (260 acres) traverse three distinct types of topography: open and rolling, valley lands and marshes, and dense forests.

Gray Rocks – La Bête La Bête (the beast) lives up to its name as the centrepiece of Tremblant’s spectacular Gray Rocks Resort. This championship course winds along the Rivière La Diable and a series of plateaus with majestic perspectives of the Laurentian mountains. Water comes into play frequently, and golfers are kept on their toes with challenging holes like the #12 Grand Canyon, with its long carry over a deep sand quarry.
