Le Diable Golf Club
Le Diable, the devil, earns its name from the rivers of red sand that streak across it. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry opened this par 71 of 7,003 yards at Mont-Tremblant in 1998, a long, fair, strategic course in the Laurentian mountains less than two hours from Montreal.

The verdict
Le Diable is the more open and strategic of the two championship courses at Mont-Tremblant, and many visitors come away calling it their favorite. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, the team behind Erin Hills and other modern classics, laid it out in 1998 with long, straight fairways and undulating greens, then framed it with the distinctive red sand bunkers that give the course its devilish identity.
For the traveling golfer it is a relaxed, scenic and genuinely good round in one of eastern Canada's premier mountain resorts. It plays firm and fair, rewards a confident driver and offers the kind of mountain backdrops that make Tremblant such a popular golf base. Paired with its sibling Le Geant, it anchors a two course resort that is easy to reach from Montreal and built for a buddies or couples golf trip.

Designer, opening year, par and yardage verified June 2026 from the resort and leading course databases. Le Diable is a par 71 of about 7,003 yards, designed by Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry and opened in 1998. It is a public resort course; indicative 2026 green fees are a mid range Quebec resort rate, lower early and late season and through stay and play packages. Rates change by season and time of day, so always confirm current pricing and availability directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
The signature of Le Diable is its bunkering. Hurdzan and Fry filled the traps with a striking red sand that snakes along the fairways and around the greens, both a visual feature and a strategic one: the bunkers define the lines, frame the targets and punish the lazy shot. Combined with long, generous fairways, the design gives you room to drive but asks you to choose your side carefully for the best angle in.
The greens are the other defense, large and undulating, so distance control and a steady putter matter as much as length off the tee. The routing rolls gently through the Laurentian forest with the mountains as a constant backdrop, and the course is walkable and welcoming for a wide range of handicaps, which is part of why it is such a popular resort round.
Le Diable suits a player who enjoys a thinking round in beautiful surroundings rather than an all out brute. Play it alongside the taller, more muscular Le Geant for a two course Tremblant trip that contrasts a strategic mountain course with a dramatic one cut into the slope.

Where to stay nearby
Mont-Tremblant is one of eastern Canada's best resort towns, with a pedestrian village at the foot of the ski hill and a wide range of hotels, condos and the Fairmont right at the base. Staying in or near the village puts both resort courses, the restaurants and the gondola within walking distance, and a stay and play package is usually the best value.
For golf, the natural pairing is the resort's other championship course, the muscular Le Geant, with the members oriented Mont-Tremblant Golf Club nearby for a third round. Many groups combine a few days at Tremblant with a city stop in Montreal and a round at Royal Montreal if access allows.
