Cap-Rouge
Club de Golf Cap-Rouge: Top-quality golf courses around Québec City are not so numerous, but here at Cap-Rouge you'll find one of the best and most accessible. This well-maintained and enjoyable layout lies close to the St Lawrence River in a quiet residential neighbourhood. River views and riverside holes will not feature in your round, but this good-looking and well-presented course will test and probe your game in an attractive parkland setting.
The walkable terrain is home to a pleasant mix of straightaway and gently doglegging holes that meander out-and-back in two nine-hole loops. Only at the start and finish of each nine, will you encounter some modest elevation change. Any housing hereabouts is set well back from the course; out of sight and out of harm's way for the most part.
The majority of holes at Cap-Rouge are pleasantly tree-lined, but not densely so. Ball-finding if you are wayward should not be too problematic, unless you stray well beyond the tree-lined course perimeter.
On a few occasions ponds sidle up alongside the greens, not least at three of the four par-3s. Also to be reckoned with around the greens and along several fairways is a stylish array of sand-faced, tongued bunkers.
This attractive and well-crafted course, offers an enjoyable round of golf in a pleasant and quiet parkland environment. If you want a longer and tougher challenge, then you'll need to cross the St Lawrence River and head a few kilometres down one of its tributaries (the Chaudière River) to La Tempête Golf Club.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted.

Cap-Rouge is located on the outskirts of Québec City, one of the most charming and historic cities in Canada. Québec is the city's official name in both French and English, although Québec City is more commonly used to differentiate the city from the province.
The city's most famous landmarks include the very impressive Château Frontenac, a Fairmont hotel which dominates the skyline, and La Citadelle, a large intact fortress. The old parts of the city, both Upper and Lower, are understandably a magnet for tourists, full of charming hotels, excellent restaurants, scenic outlooks and historic buildings.
Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
