Bic sur Mer

Bic sur Mer — formerly Club de Golf du Bic — is an 18-hole, par-72 resort course stretching 6,514 yards along the shores of the St. Lawrence River in Rimouski, Quebec. Founded in 1932 and entirely redesigned in 2024, it sits near the boundary of Bic National Park, placing golfers within view of the river and the islands scattered across the estuary.

The layout makes use of varied elevations throughout its 18 holes, and the proximity to the St. Lawrence means river and island views appear at multiple points on the round. The opening hole, named L'Escarpé, serves as the course's signature, setting an early tone that rewards precision over power — a theme that continues across a design calibrated to challenge without punishing unfairly.

At 6,514 yards from the tips, Bic sur Mer presents a moderate length that suits a wide range of handicaps, though the terrain changes and the coastal setting introduce enough variables to keep experienced players engaged. The 2024 redesign gives the facility a contemporary feel while preserving the historical foundation of a club that has been part of the Rimouski golf landscape for nearly a century.

Rimouski itself sits on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, roughly midway between Quebec City and the Gaspé Peninsula, making Bic sur Mer a natural stop for golfers tracing the river route eastward. Bic National Park, immediately adjacent, adds hiking, wildlife, and shoreline scenery for travelling companions who want more than golf from the trip.
