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 within view of Bic National Park and the scattered islands of the St. Lawrence, making it one of the more scenically distinctive courses in the region.

The layout makes the most of its riverfront setting, with varied elevations that produce genuine changes in perspective from hole to hole. Views of the river and the Bic islands appear throughout the round, and the terrain keeps the challenge honest — precision off the tee and into greens tends to matter more than raw distance. The course opens with its signature hole, L'Escarpé (#1), which sets the tone early with what the name suggests: a sharp drop in elevation that frames the round's opening shot against the St. Lawrence backdrop.

At a par 72 and just over 6,500 yards, Bic sur Mer plays to a fair level of difficulty that suits a wide range of golfers. The 2024 redesign brings a contemporary layout to a property with nearly a century of history, a combination that should appeal to both returning visitors curious about the changes and first-timers drawn by the river setting. Golfers passing through the Bas-Saint-Laurent region — whether heading toward Gaspésie or arriving from the west — will find this a worthwhile stop.
