Golf in Brittany
Brittany / Weather / Markets in Brittany / Food and Drink / Restaurants / Golf in Brittany
Golf is growing faster in France than anywhere else in the world. With many excellent courses offering a warm welcome to visitors. With elegant clubhouses and comparatively empty courses, it represents a visiting golfer's paradise, especially with green fees similar to those in the UK. In Brittany, the choice overall is both interesting and scenic rather than truly demanding - the essence of holiday golf. Addicts will find an amazing diversity of landscapes to give their game a new sense of freedom. Seaside links, rolling inland courses, grand panoramas in the countryside or regal clubs based around a château – Brittany goes out of its way to attract the golfer.
