Golf des Ormes

Golf des Ormes golf course – golf with a view of the castle and Breton flair

If you are looking for a charming golf course with character in Brittany, you will quickly fall in love with Golf des Ormes. The 18-hole course is located on the grounds of a historic castle – the Château des Ormes – and combines idyllic nature, sporting challenges and French joie de vivre in a pleasant way.

Game play & course layout

The course is a par 72 with a length of around 6,200 metres – athletic, but not overwhelming. Particularly pleasant: the course is well maintained, varied and fair for golfers of all handicap classes. Even the first few holes give you a sense that strategic play is rewarded here. The course winds its way through old trees, past ponds and small water hazards – but never in a way that makes it unfair.

The fairways are varied: sometimes open, sometimes narrow – sometimes long, sometimes tactically tricky. Particularly noteworthy is the signature hole: a par 3 with a view of the castle, where you have to play over a pond. A photo opportunity guaranteed!

Atmosphere & surroundings

What makes Golf des Ormes really special is the surrounding area. You play in the middle of the grounds of the Château des Ormes, with old walls, ancient trees and typical Breton natural scenery. This gives the golf course a unique, almost romantic atmosphere – without being kitschy. The tranquillity you find here is ideal for clearing your head.

Infrastructure & Services

The driving range is well equipped, there are putting and chipping greens, and those who wish can stock up at the small but excellent pro shop. Golf carts and trolleys are also available. Particularly practical: the course is part of a larger holiday resort with a hotel, holiday homes, restaurant and even a swimming pool – perfect for a relaxing golf holiday in Brittany.
