Golf nearby:

GOLF de CAEN 27 holes
Created in 1990, Caen Golf Course has 27 holes. The 18 hole "plain-valley" course with its 6155 metres is testing if you are open to the wind. The first two holes are tricky by being both narrow tree-lined water holes. You will pay heavily if you are too ambitious or off line. Several difficult Par four's follow of more than 400 metres.

 

GOLF du BEUZEVAL-HOULGATE 18 holes
It is very varied course, each hole being technically different but all complementing each other. Some holes go uphill, others go downhill, like the 15th hole, an exceptional par 5 that offers incredible views over the Channel. Other holes are flat and situated high on top of the hill. The setting is unique, very orchard-like.

 

St Julien Golf Course
Lucien Barriere has transformed this excellent parkland layout into a much better quality course. Big changes to the design and layout make it one of the best now in Normandy. The greens as always are first class and fast!

 

Golf de Saint Gatien Deauville 27 holes
This friendly parkland course is located on highland looking out over the Le Havre Estuary. It's a picturesque layout with 5 or 6 hilly holes, generous fairways and the best clubhouse ambience in the area. We highly recommend the buffet lunch!

BARRIERE NEW GOLF DEAUVILLE 27 holes
27 Holes of superb parkland golf and ranked in Normandy's top 3. Originally designed by Tom Simpson with Henry Cotton adding the Blue nine. Stunning views across the Channel. Not easy to book on weekends in main season.

GOLF DEAUVILLE AMIRAUTE
Built on a former stud farm this 18 hole 9 (6055m-par 73) course has real championship potential as well as some challenging water obstacles. With 7 Floodlit holes the course is unique in Europe while the 17 ornamental statues add a cultural aspect.
