OMAHA BEACH
Port-en-Bessin
Between Le Touquet and La Baule, only one golf club features two 18 hole courses. Just 3 miles from the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer, Omaha Beach is also a historic place which evokes respect and emotion. Two exceptional courses which can't be missed: one which runs down to the sea offering breathtaking views of the Channel before moving through the countryside, the other which looks down on the Manoir du Baron Gerard before challenging you with a series of lakes.
COUTAINVILLE GOLF COURSE Agon-Coutainville The golf course at Coutainville lies between the sea and the countryside, close to both the town centre and the beach. It has 14 holes laid out as links, and another 4 holes amongst hedges. The course contains a number of hidden traps, in particular its very subtle par 3's surrounded by bunkers. There are also water hazards, including a new one at the 9th hole constructed in 2011, which all demand precise stroke play while being aesthetically pleasing.
