The Golf Courses:
HAUT POITOU Golf Course. Par 73 - 6,549m
This magnificent golf course is reputed to be the second most difficult golf course in France. It was designed by Harold Baker and is now mature, being 21 years old this year! The 18 hole course overlooks the Lake of St Cyr, and has virtually all types of terrain, with large open fairways, wooded hillsides and water hazards. It really has a challenge for everyone, and is a course you will want to play more than once. One can play at a relaxing pace and enjoy the game and the lovely surroundings. The nine hole course is also in beautiful condition and excellent for beginners or anyone wishing a less strenuous day. There is also a driving range, a putting green and a pitching area,and lessons are available too in English from the Scottish professional.
The club house is magnificent, with panoramic views over the golf course and the lake. The restaurant is excellent, and only 15 minutes from La Bergerie.
