Late afternoon light slides across the St. Lawrence as the skyline leans in, curious.

Adventure Tips
Beat the midday rush
Arrive before 11 a.m. or after 5 p.m. for shorter waits and softer light on the river.
Plan for wind off the St. Lawrence
Gusts can nudge putts—pack a light layer and adjust your aim on exposed greens.
Sun-smart on open quays
There’s little shade; wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, and bring water.
Walk-up only
No reservations are needed—check daily hours and go straight to the counter to play.
