Trois-Saumons

Club de Golf Trois-Saumons is a public 18-hole course situated in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, a small town on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. Open since 1981, it plays to a par of 72 over 6,299 yards from the blue tees — a length that keeps the layout accessible without feeling short.

The course rolls across gentle terrain punctuated by water hazards and sand traps. The standout moment comes at the 14th hole, where the green sits well below the tee and the Trois-Saumon River runs beneath a sand trap — a combination that demands both precision and sound club selection. It is one of those holes where a visually striking setup reinforces the need for a committed swing rather than a cautious one.

At just over 6,300 yards with moderate elevation change, Trois-Saumons suits a wide range of golfers. Mid-handicappers will find the yardage manageable, while the water and bunker placements add enough consequence to keep single-digit players honest. Visitors driving the scenic Route 132 corridor through Chaudière-Appalaches will find it a natural stop — Saint-Jean-Port-Joli is well known as a centre of wood sculpture and folk art, giving a round here a natural place in a broader regional itinerary.
