Golf is growing at a faster rate in France than anywhere else in the world with many excellent courses offering a warm welcome to visitors. With elegant clubhouses and comparatively empty courses (most of the members are still learning the game), it represents a visiting golfer's paradise, especially with green fees similar to those at home.

In Brittany, the choice overall is both interesting and scenic rather than truly demanding - the essence of holiday golf. Addicts will find an amazing diversity of landscapes to give their game a new sense of freedom. Seaside links, rolling inland courses, grand panoramas in the countryside or regal clubs based around a château – Brittany goes out of its way to attract the golfer.

Not only the scenery but also the technical difficulty of the courses varies too. Whether a novice or an expert, everyone will find an opportunity to improve their handicap.

Visitors to golf clubs in Brittany will find a warm and affable welcome. On the fairway or in the calm of the clubhouse you will feel at home. All year round a full range of facilities is available at very inviting prices: courses, practice fairways, putting greens, pitching greens, club houses and pro shops.

Golf de Baden, fronting an estuary of the Bay of Morbihan, offers family open golf until its newly-planted trees mature. Set in rolling countryside and dotted with lakes, it is very demanding. Beware of strategic water, which affects play on 9 of the holes and concentrates the mind wonderfully.
