Extend summer with an autumn 'Awayday' golf break in France from only £64 per person

Uncrowded courses in beautiful surroundings with all the convenience of having your own car

This autumn Brittany Ferries Holidays is offering golfers the chance to pop across the Channel to France to play some of the most beautiful, uncrowded courses in the whole of Europe at bargain prices. Awayday Breaks start at only £64 per person at 20 selected golf courses in Normandy and Brittany and comprise both green fees and return ferry travel with a car. Reclining seats are also included in the price but, if required, cabins can be pre-booked at a discount of 15%. Lunch with a glass of wine or beer is even included at most of the courses!

If you want to add a night's stay in a hotel and an extra round of golf, then you can, for just an extra £59.

All these golf breaks begin and end with a relaxing cruise, giving plenty of time to enjoy the ship's fine restaurants, comfortable bars and lounges and live entertainment. On overnight crossings a good night's sleep in an en-suite cabin provides for an arrival refreshed and ready for a round of golf. What is more, taking your own car means packing your golf equipment is so easy and there is no prospect of excess baggage charges.

If any advice is needed, then it is readily available from the Brittany Ferries' Golf Desk, staffed by experts who are all very familiar with the golf courses featured. They will also arrange all bookings including tee-off times.

All courses are within easy access of the four French ports served by Brittany Ferries and range from the spectacular Golf de Omaha Beach, which, as the name implies, runs along the beach which was the site of the historic D-day landings, to the Golf Club des Ormes set in the wooded grounds of an eighteenth century chateau near St. Malo.

Brittany Ferries operates five routes to Normandy and Brittany, all with frequent sailings: Portsmouth-Caen, Portsmouth-Cherbourg, Portsmouth-St. Malo, Poole-Cherbourg and Plymouth-Roscoff. Apart from golf, Brittany Ferries Holidays offers a huge range of self-drive holidays in France and Spain including self-catering in gites, cottages and apartments as well as hotel breaks.
