Loretteville sits on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, just minutes from Québec City, in a region where the seasons are as dramatic as the landscape — short, electric summers giving way to falls painted in hardwood colour, and winters that shut everything down with conviction. Golf here is lived with a certain urgency, squeezed into a window that makes every round feel worth showing up for.
Club de Golf Lorette has served this community for decades, and while I can't speak to the specifics of who shaped the routing or when, an 18-hole, par-72 layout in this part of the province typically works with rolling, glacially carved terrain — elevation changes, tree corridors of maple and birch, and ground that rewards local knowledge. The Laurentian Shield country nearby ensures the land rarely lies flat or predictable.
This is everyday golf in a francophone golf culture that takes the game seriously without pretension. The kind of club where regulars know the breaks on every green and visitors are welcomed into that knowledge, round by round.
