Relais des Peintres

Local golf courses

Val Queven G.C.
Val Queven
Architect: Y. Bureau.
18 holes: 6100m: par 72.
Fairly generous fairways roll through the ancient forests. Some treacherous water hazards lurk around this spacious course.


Golf d'Odet
Golf d'Odet
Architect: R. Berthet.
18 holes: 5,843m: par 72.
Laid out over a broad expanse of woodland and wetland, Odet is a course where controlled big hitting can pay big dividends with birdie chances if you avoid the water.  An interesting feature of the course are the ancient Breton talus or banks that separate many fairways.


Cornouaille
Architect: F. Hawtree.
18 holes: 5,684m: par 71.
A tremendous little Club fiercely proud of its history and golfing links with the Southwest of England.  Here, accuracy is everything and a little thought amongst the trees and dog-legs of the back-nine will pay-off in the long run.


.
St. Laurent
Architect: M. Fenn.
18 + 9 holes: 6112m: par 72.
This classic parkland course has twice hosted the French P.G.A. Championship. Many long par fours that demand accurate use of the driver.


.
Ploemeur-Océan
Architect: M. Quenouille.
18 holes: 5957m: par 72.
Half-links/half-parkland. If the wind is blowing the forest holes will come as a welcome relief from the exposed coastal nine.


.
Baden
Architect: Y. Bureau.
18 holes: 6145m: par 72.
A delightful course meandering around the Gulf of Morbihan. A huge variety of holes and scenery as you play down to the estuary and back up through the pines.


Other courses to consider

Rennes-St. Jacques and La Freslonnière - if you are passing through Rennes en-route to the Channel ports these are two very good spots to break the journey.
