Why choose for a
Brittany golfing break?
There are lots of reasons why! Carefully designed courses suitable for all levels can be found
across the region nestled among spectacular scenery. Uncrowded greens, inexpensive fees
and easy access combine to make the region a natural choice. The lure of a warm welcome
and fine gastronomy should seal the deal. Brittany’s courses give the golfer a unique experience – and some unforgettable holes.
Whether it’s the 11th at Pléneuf-Val-André or the 6th at Dinard, there are certain holes that will stay
with you and make your golfing break one to remember. The courses are shaped by the local landscape and so expect all the challenges along with the most of the spectacular natural surroundings.

For a guide to Brittany’s best golf courses
and how to make the most of the Breton 19th hole,
www.golf-brittanytourism.com
Golf in Brittany is first and foremost about enjoying the game – and we all know that the game
isn’t over until the 19th hole has been played. The Bretons’ renowned hospitality extends to the
clubhouses with a post-round debrief over a Breton-brewed beer and selected golf courses offer spa treatments or a pool to help you wind down. The atmosphere is relaxed and Brittany’s
clubhouses are open to all. All that golf works up an appetite and you certainly won’t go hungry in
Brittany. The Bretons take their food very seriously and you’ll be spoilt for choice whether you eat
at the golf club or venture further afield.

Domaine des Ormes
An opportunity to discover three high quality
courses in the heart of Mont St Michel Bay
and close to Saint-Malo, the ‘corsair city’.
Dinard Golf
Domaine des Ormes is situated in the middle of a chateau estate that is now a holiday resort. The course weaves
around glorious and mature
parkland: majestic 300-yearold trees, beautiful flowerbeds
and delightful lakes.
Established in 1887, Dinard is France’s second-oldest club
and is steeped in history. With sandy turf, rolling fairways,
classic pot bunkering, wonderful sea views, heather, gorse
and small, well-defended greens, it has everything you would
expect of a premium world famous course.
Saint-Malo Golf Resort
On the edge of the Mesnil forest and bordering the lovely
Lake Mirloup, the principal 18-hole course covers 250 acres
and is thought to be the largest in Brittany. Designed by Hubert Chesneau, the architect of the famous Golf National near
Paris, the 6700-yard course has the feel of an old established
estate with a majestic lake adding an extra touch of class.

Carved out of more than 250 acres of beautiful pine and oak woodland, this parkland

greens and many trees combine to create a
delightful course in the most attractive of settings.
