Domaine Des Ormes Brittany

Golf holidays in Brittany: Domaine des Ormes – golf, enjoyment and relaxation in one place

Golfers looking for a special blend of nature, tradition and sporting challenge should put Domaine des Ormes in the heart of Brittany at the top of their bucket list. This charming resort complex is located between Rennes and Saint-Malo and offers an all-round experience that not only delights golfers – but us in particular.

A golf course that is more than just green

The 18-hole golf course at Domaine des Ormes is a real highlight. Nestled in an old castle park, you play here among ponds, forests, rolling hills and historic buildings. The par-72 course was designed by Antoine d’Ormesson and is technically varied without being overly difficult. A classic parkland course that rewards precise play but also leaves room for longer drives with wide fairways.

Whether you are an experienced player or have just obtained your golf licence, this course is simply fun. The holes are never boring, often tricky, but always fair. The water hazards on holes 10 and 16 are particularly memorable – in a positive sense. Tip: Start early, as the morning tranquillity on the course is unbeatable.

Training facilities for every level

The practice facilities are solid: a driving range with covered tees, a putting and pitching green, and a practice bunker – ideal for checking your short game before the round or for targeted training after the round. If you like, you can also book lessons with a pro – perfect for individual golfers, groups or golf beginners.

Stay overnight surrounded by nature

The Domaine offers a variety of accommodation options – from charming hotel rooms in the old manor house to modern holiday homes and original accommodation such as tree houses. Yes, tree houses – with a view of the golf course. If you are looking for something special, you will find it here.

For golfers, the hotel overlooking the 1st hole is particularly convenient. You can practically walk straight from breakfast to the tee. Everything is within walking distance – including the clubhouse, restaurant, spa and bar.

Cuisine & club life

After the round is before the enjoyment: the restaurant in the clubhouse serves regional Breton cuisine – lots of fish, good meat, honest cuisine without frills. Add a glass of French wine and a view of the 18th – perfect. Those who prefer something more rustic will also find a crêperie and a brasserie on the premises.

Leisure activities away from the golf course

And if you happen to have a golf-free day (yes, such things do exist): the extensive grounds of the Domaine offer tennis, horse riding, a climbing park, a wave pool and even a water park for families. The proximity to the coast and Saint-Malo also offers excursion options with sea views and culture.
