Club de Murray Bay

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Club de Murray Bay for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting from late June through early September. You'll find the course in its prime, with lush fairways and greens, and the weather is reliably warm enough to truly enjoy those stunning bay views without a chill. We always book well in advance for peak summer weekends.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Club de Murray Bay, and what makes it unique?

The course's biggest test comes from its undulating terrain and the ever-present wind off the St. Lawrence, which can turn a simple approach shot into a real head-scratcher. You'll also love the dramatic elevation changes on holes like the par-3 7th, offering breathtaking vistas that might distract you from your swing.

Is Club de Murray Bay a good value, or is it more of a splurge destination?

We consider Murray Bay an excellent value for the quality of golf and the unforgettable scenery you experience. While not a budget course, the green fees are very reasonable for a track with such history and immaculate conditioning, especially compared to other Canadian gems. You're paying for a truly memorable round, not just a name.

What should we do after our round at Club de Murray Bay, or if we're staying in the area?

After your round, definitely stick around for a drink on the clubhouse patio-the views are spectacular and perfect for reliving your best shots. The charming town of La Malbaie is just a short drive away, offering fantastic local restaurants and art galleries if you want to make a full day or weekend of it.

What's one crucial piece of advice for someone playing Club de Murray Bay for the first time?

Don't get too aggressive with your driver on every hole; precision often trumps distance here, especially on the tighter, tree-lined front nine. We strongly advise taking a moment on each tee box to appreciate the panoramic views-it's part of the experience and helps you relax into your game.
