Type of grass to plant at my country place?

Hello all, my first post, so please be gentle. :)

I bought some land in a place we call "Up North" here in Montreal. It's about 225kms North West from Montreal, located in a place named Notre Dame Du laus.

The ground there is about max 6" of earth and then the rest as far down as i have dug so far, 6 feet, is sand, what is the best hardy grass to plant here? Ideally it would stay short, need to resist harsh winters and only receive water when it rains , no water access yet.

Ideas? Thanks, and to all have a great day!
