The allure of days gone by

Get your holiday off to an authentic start at Dinard Golf Club, the second oldest links in France. And after the 18th hole? At sunset, the only thing Saint-Malo’s fortified walls are missing is you.

With ocean views, the Blue Green Golf Club in Pléneuf-Val-André deftly blends pleasures and landscapes, from spectacular cliffs to manicured greens, generously watered by the local climate.

9 holes in a garden

Just 5 minutes from Rennes, Cap Malo Golf Club boasts not only a course planted with thousands of species of trees and flowers, but does a great brunch back at the clubhouse.

A taste of Brittany to keep in your pocket

A secret treat for on the green: keep these lovely Breton salted caramels hidden in your pocket; they ll make the perfect treat while on the green .If you keep them tightly wrapped up they shouldn't melt too much.

Spoilt for choice

For a day spent at one with nature, Armorique regional park is just a pitch and put from Brest Iroise Golf Club. Now you have a tough choice: 9 or 18 holes? A quick round or the full experience?

The perfect break

At the end of the beautiful Quiberon peninsula, just you and the waves. Trust the expert hands at one of the world’s best spas to knead away your stress.

Weird wildlife

On your way to Saint-Samson Golf Club, wave to the puffins, whitecoats, and other weird and wonderful creatures at the Sept-Îles nature reserve.

A megalithic encounter

On Ile des Gavrinis, pay your respects to one of Brittany’s most spectacular dolmen, before heading to Rhuys-Kerver Blue Green Golf Club, located within an amazing bird sanctuary.
