La Baule & La Bretesche golf courses

 

 


La Baule - without question the premier golf resort on the Atlantic coast. The original Peter Alliss course has been divided into two with nine new holes added to each loop creating two outstanding 18 hole layouts, plus a full size 9-hole course.

La Baule - Rouge
Architects: P. Alliss & D. Thomas.
18 holes: 6055m: par 72.
The Rouge course starts in front of the Clubhouse and the first five holes play through mature woodland. The middle nine holes are more American in style around the Hotel with more water, and some impressive bunkering in play. The closing holes are more play around the original lake and back to the welcoming Clubhouse.

La Baule - Bleu  


La Baule - Bleu
18 holes: 6301m: par 72.
Architects: P. Alliss & M.Gayon.

A short par four beside the extensive practice facilities to start, then the Bleu course leads you through the forest and out into the open where nine new holes are arguably the most eye-catching best stretch at La Baule with some fearsome water hazards and intricate bunkering. A very good test of golf indeed!


La Baule - Vert
8 holes: 6301m: par 72
Achitect: M.Gayon
An full sized 9 hole course that is no "walk in the park". All your shots will be tested on this varied selection of holes on the opposite shore of the lake to the "Bleu" course.

La Bretesche - 18th  

La Bretesche
Architect: B. Baker.
18 holes: 6080m: par 72.
A majestic course amidst the forests and rhododendrons of the fairy-tale Château of La Bretesche. Tight fairways and spectacular views as you play your way around the ancient home of "Les Ducs de Bretagne".


Pornic
Architect: M. Gayon.
18 holes: 6112m: par 72.
The new Clubhouse at Pornic is now fully established as is this great little course.
A links like feel to the rolling fairways in many places, yet with aquatic obstacles to negotiate too. A very friendly Club.

Pines a plenty at St. Jean de Monts!  

St.Jean de Monts
Architect: Y. Bureau.
18 holes: 5962m: par 72.
A mixture of tight holes through the pines (and round the lake!) plus a semi-links section bordering the seashore. In our opinion, well worthy of the drive to get there.


Savenay
Architect: M. Gayon.
18 holes: 6339m: par 73.
A fairly straightforward parkland layout, albeit with a natural water hazard or two, that is closer to La Baule than either Pornic or St. Jean de Monts.
