1-Day Golf Road Trip: Bas-Saint-Laurent & Gaspésie

Morning

Start the day at Bic sur Mer, the resort-style par 72 in Rimouski. Aim for a morning tee time to take advantage of calmer winds off the St. Lawrence — this stretch of coastline can pick up a breeze by midday. The course plays to a full 18 holes, so allow roughly four to four-and-a-half hours. Those staying overnight in Rimouski can roll out of Hôtel Le Navigateur or Hôtel Rimouski & Centre de Congrès and be on the first tee without a long drive.

Lunch & Afternoon

After the round, head to Restaurant Chez Saint-Pierre in Le Bic for a post-round meal before getting back on the road. From there, drive west along the shore to Métis-sur-Mer and squeeze in an afternoon 18 at Club de Golf Boule Rock, an Albert Murray-designed par 71 that sits just inland from the river. Murray layouts tend to reward precise iron play over power, so the afternoon round becomes a useful contrast to the resort-style morning course. Keep the tee time no later than early afternoon to finish with daylight to spare.

Evening

Continue west to Carleton-sur-Mer and check in at Manoir Belle Plage or Riôtel Carleton-sur-Mer, both sitting directly in town. For dinner, Le Marin d'Eau Douce offers a local dining option in Carleton-sur-Mer, while Le Naufrageur – Microbrasserie & Pub is a practical stop for a post-round pint and a casual meal. Either option is walkable or a short drive from the waterfront hotels. With Golf Carleton-Sur-Mer right in town, there is also the option of booking a morning round the next day before the drive home — the par 71 layout makes for a clean way to end a Gaspésie swing.
