Our selected golf courses: Normandy - Deauville - Champ de Bataille
| Deauville
Architects: T. Simpson & H. Cotton.
3 x 9 holes: 5934m: par 71.
On the high plateau around the hotel this classic
parkland layout has a quite British feel to it.
Lovely views of
Deauville, Trouville and the Seine estuary. The 9 "Bleu"
holes are ideal for an after lunch round (or there are always the
sun-loungers by the pool...) |
|
Etretat Architects: Chantepie & Fruchet. 18 holes: 6072m: par 72.
Atop the chalky cliffs, Etretat has some quite
stunning scenery. The Channel is in view from every hole and the
sheer drop of the towering chalky-white cliffs is literally breathtaking.
Very handy on the way to/from the ferries at Le Havre.
| St. Julien
Architect: A. Prat.
18 holes + 9: 6 291m: par 73.
Recently remodeled the course is now one of the
finest in the area. Rising and falling across the beautiful Pays
d’Auge hillsides, although nothing extreme. A very peaceful
corner of Normandy in which to enjoy a day's golf. |

 |
Amiraute
Architect: B. Baker.
18 holes: 6017m: par 73.
A real US style course on the river flood plain.
Huge bunkers and water hazards and excellent greens. Rather uniquely, the owner has
punctuated the course with some sizeable singular sculptures: good golf - if somewhat unusual and rather under-played.. |
|
Houlgate
Architect: P. Alliss.
18 holes: 5558m: par 72.
Front nine plays over level terrain with just
a couple of water hazards to keep you on your toes. The back nine
climbs for one hole onto a high plateau from where there are quintessential
views of the Normandy landscape.
|
 |
 |
St.Gatien
Architect: O. Brizon.
18 holes: 6200m: par 72.
9 level holes plus a difficult 9 that clamber
up and down the slopes around the wooded hillside. A much easier
third 9 allow the hills to be avoided. |
Golf Holidays in Normandy - our recommended golf courses around Rouen
Champ
de Bataille Architect: R. Nelson. 18 holes: 5983m: par 72.
Once played never forgotten. Only an hour from
Deauville and well worth the drive. Lying in the grounds of the
impressive Château that once formed the Clubhouse, this is
a pretty yet tough course. Many of our golfers make their pilgrimage
here every year. Spectacular in May with the floribundant Rhododendrons.
 |
Dieppe
Architect: W. Park.
18 holes: 5763m: Par 70.
On the cliffs above Dieppe, similar to Etretat
although with a slightly more linksy feel to it. Ideal venue to
play and watch for your return Seacat to Newhaven. |
| Vaudreuil
Architect: F. Hawtree.
18 holes: 6412m: Par 73.
Level terrain so easy walking, this honest course
has all its hazards in view. Mind you with its Pinehurst style raised
greens you can't afford to relax until the putter is in your hands...
Huge Normandy farmhouse Clubhouse - which was moved piece by piece
to it's current site! |
 |
 |
St.
Saens
Architect: D. Robinson.
18 holes: 6004m: Par 71.
Just to the North of Rouen St. Saens is a very
pretty course that swoops around a rosy hillside Château.
Steep climb to the upper section - but rewarding views. |
| |
|
Lery-Poses
Architect: H-J. Baker.
18 holes: 6242m: Par 72.
A modern course to the South of Rouen very close
to Vaudreuil. Although a public course has a healthy Membership
who keep the course in great condition and lend the Clubhouse a
real "locals" feel. Fairly level terrain with a few man-made
elevated tees and greens. |
