Golf holidays in Brittany – rugged, charming and full of surprises Brittany may not be the first region that springs to mind for a golf holiday in France – and that is precisely what makes it so special. Those who play golf here are not looking for the glamour of the Côte d’Azur, but rather pure, unspoilt nature, spectacular coastlines, authentic villages and golf courses with real character. Nature, wind & fairways – golfing in Brittany As a golfer, Brittany offers a fascinating mix of sporting challenge and scenic backdrop. Many courses are located directly on the coast or at least offer sea views – with the typical rough Atlantic wind making every round exciting. The fairways are often lined with heather, broom or old stone walls, and the greens are fast but fair. The best golf courses in Brittany Golf de Saint-Laurent (near Carnac) A true classic with mature trees, challenging doglegs and a very well-maintained layout. Early morning rounds are particularly beautiful when a light mist settles over the undulating fairways. Golf de Dinard One of the oldest courses in France – a real gem. Located directly on the cliffs, with a Scottish links feel and fantastic views of the sea. The wind is a constant playing partner here. Golf Bluegreen Pléneuf-Val-André Probably one of the most beautiful courses in the region. High above the cliffs, spectacular panoramas, but also technically demanding holes. Signature hole: the par 5 on hole 11 with a view over the Atlantic. Golf de Cornouaille (near Quimper) A quiet, scenically beautiful parkland course that scores points for its natural integration into the landscape. Old trees, small lakes and a very good clubhouse with regional cuisine. Golf de Brest Iroise The largest golf course in Brittany with a total of 27 holes. The championship course is a real highlight with its varied design, while the second 9-hole loop is perfect for relaxed afternoons. Why take a golf holiday in Brittany? Pure variety: from links-style coastal courses to classic parkland courses, Brittany offers a wide variety. Authenticity: No crowded courses, no artificial staging – just honest golf in the midst of Breton authenticity. Cuisine: After your round, crêpes, oysters, galettes and cider await you – honestly, what more could you want? Climate: Mild Atlantic climate – perfect for golfing in spring, summer and autumn, without the stress of excessive heat. Culture & nature: Between rounds, it’s worth taking a detour to the megaliths of Carnac, the picturesque harbour towns or the wild rocky coasts. Conclusion Brittany is one of the most underrated but exciting golf destinations in Europe. If you are looking for a mix of sporting challenge, nature and cultural richness, you will find it here – and usually return with more than just good scores.
