Three miles from Bénodet, this course has been
created out of more than 250 acres of woodland. It
provides excellent golfing for amateur and pro alike
with large bunkers, lakes, long fairways and dense
woodland. On the second hole, there are enormous
pine trees in one of the bunkers, which have to be
cleared by a good approach shot. A 9 hole course
serves as a warm up prior to playing the main 18,
and the clubhouse offers excellent facilities.
Our opinion:
This flat course is an easy walk and certainly
worth a visit.
Favourite Hole: 17th.
Designed by the renowned golf architect, Fred
Hawtree, part of the course’s charm is the frequent
choice the player must make between the safety
shot and the daring strike. Undulating fairways
are expansive and good use has been made of
water hazards, bunkers & woodland throughout the
course, which has been designed incorporating the
natural beauty of the area. The clubhouse, an
18thC converted manor, is known for its relaxed
and friendly atmosphere.
Our opinion:
A pleasant course with some great views,
suitable for all.
Favourite Hole: 14th.
Although a relatively short championship course,
it is known as one of the toughest courses
in southern Brittany as the natural seaboard
landscape offered great scope to the designers.
This links course has many large pot bunkers,
sloping fairways and eight of the beautiful 18 holes
have water hazards. In the winter the wind off
the sea turns this into a very challenging course.
Following your round take a drink on the terrace
and watch other golfers struggle with the 18th hole
or enjoy a meal in the clubhouse.
Our opinion:
This course is half heathland and half links
so 2 for the price of 1! A superb challenge.
Favourite Hole: 6th.
