Le Ricochet ☆ Follow

Located at 1571 Boulevard St-Jean-Baptiste in Chicoutimi, Quebec, the Club de Golf Le Ricochet is a facility established in 1979 that serves the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. The course is owned by a group of local golfers who acquired the property in 2024, aiming to preserve the club's history while maintaining its family-oriented atmosphere. The facility is notable for being the only golf course in the region equipped with lighting, allowing for play during evening hours. The main layout consists of a 9-hole course with a par of 36, spanning a total distance of 3,026 yards. The terrain is described as hilly, featuring mature trees and a high degree of difficulty that can be modulated by selecting different tee boxes. The course design incorporates varied hole lengths, with specific mention of the challenging nature of the layout for experienced players. In addition to the full 9-hole course, the club offers a separate 9-hole "Normal 27" layout. This shorter course covers 945 yards and features nine holes with pars ranging from 3 to 5, with individual hole distances varying between 82 and 121 yards. This layout is designed to be accessible and entertaining for all skill levels, including beginners and families. The facility includes a practice area with 24 illuminated hitting bays and a renovated 18-hole mini-golf course, both of which are available for evening play. The club also provides electric golf carts, a putting green, and on-site dining services. The combination of the full course, the shorter Normal 27, and the auxiliary activities positions the venue as a comprehensive destination for golfers of varying abilities.
