Golf Carleton-Sur-Mer

Golf Carleton-sur-Mer sits in the Gaspésie region of Quebec, hugging the shoreline of Baie des Chaleurs with Mont St-Joseph rising directly behind the property. One of the older courses in eastern Canada, it opened in 1929 and has been a fixture of the local landscape for nearly a century.

The layout stretches to 6,453 yards over 18 holes, playing to a par of 71. Holes alternate between two distinct environments: wooded stretches that wind through the forest at the base of the mountain, and more open segments that run along the bay's shore. The contrast keeps the round varied — tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, while the coastal holes bring wind and broad water views into play.

The course suits a wide range of golfers. The modest par and sub-6,500-yard length make it accessible to mid- and higher-handicap players, while the combination of forested terrain, elevation changes from the mountain base, and seaside exposure adds enough complexity to engage lower handicappers.

Carleton-sur-Mer itself is a small Gaspésie coastal town on the southern shore of the Gaspé Peninsula, roughly midway between Amqui and the New Brunswick border. The bay and mountain setting that frames the course is a consistent feature of the town, making a round here a natural fit for travellers making their way along the Gaspésie circuit.
