NORMANDY PARKLAND

This course has one of the most visually stunning golf holes you’re ever likely to see, the 17th, a short but fiendishly tight par three across a valley simply brimming with 100 year old rhododendrons. You could almost be at Augusta, although this wonderful championship standard course, Golf Club de Champ de Bataille, is amongst the most beautiful in France and has also been compared with Wentworth and Woburn.

Close to Pont l’Evêque, in the heart of the Pays d’Auge is Golf Barrière de St Julien. This traditional style course, with a sprinkling of water hazards, winds through lush Normandy pastures. An open course in one of France’s most beautiful regions.

Ponds and lakes make for good water hazards and well placed bunkers are there to catch the wayward. The 9 hole is a good test for beginners and midhandicappers whilst the 18 hole will suit players of all levels. Free trolley hire when playing this course.

In the heart of the Normandy region, halfway between Paris and Deauville, the UGOLF d'Évreux, designed in 1994 by the architect Jean Pascal Fourès, offers a natural setting to allow everyone, young and old, to enjoy or to get in touch with golf.

The original 18 hole course was built by Tom Simpson in 1929 and in the 60s Henry Cotton designed a further 9 holes. The 27 holes of Golf Barrière run through through extremely well maintained

woodland on the edge of Deauville. There are magnificent views across both the town and sea, and although not long, the numerous dog-legs and tight fairways demand accuracy from the tee.

Conveniently located between Evreux and Paris, Golf du Vaudreuil is a flat, mature course. Designed by Hawtree, the fairways wind through magnificently preserved parkland planted with a variety of trees where accuracy off the tee is essential. Try not to be distracted by the fabulous houses that line the course!

Previously named Golf Parc de Nantilly, this is a beautiful course 20 minutes from Evreux and is an absolute must when you visit Normandy.

Boasting a great clubhouse and maintained to the highest standard, the course has an American feel to it with plenty of water hazards which include several island greens. It is also surrounded by many rare species of trees which, when in colour, look fantastic.

Buggy with GPS and use of the driving range is included in the price. No trolley or club hire.
