Course and hotel information

Golf Club de St Malo

Ref: FGB002

Designed by Hubert Chesneau, the mastermind behind French Open venue Golf National, and set in the ancient hunting grounds of Mesnil Forest, St Malo has matured very nicely indeed over the past quarter of a century. From first (a relatively gentle par five) to last (a great closing hole with a well guarded green in full view of the clubhouse terrace), this is amongst the very finest of the new generation of French golf courses and it's only half an hour from the ferry terminal at St Malo. There's water on 13 holes and some fiendishly positioned bunkers but don't be put off because the fairways are mostly generous and the greens true. With an on-site hotel, restaurant and bar it's also an excellent place to stay. Free trolley hire when playing this course.

Our opinion: One of Brittany's best - every hotel room is different and the course is top class. Favourite Hole: 6th.

Golf du Domaine des Ormes

Ref: FGB001

Situated between St Malo and Comborg, Des Ormes is set in a 370 acre estate surrounding a 16th century château. The domaine also houses a family friendly resort with campsite, hotel, log cabins and even tree houses (look out for them on your way round). The course cuts through mature woodland, with beautiful flowerbeds and delightful lakes adding a sense of style in keeping with the setting. The course isn't particularly long but there's certainly no shortage of subtlety. The club house was originally a farm building and oozes character, but if the sun's out be sure to enjoy a drink or bite to eat alfresco on the terrace in front of the château.

Our opinion: A wonderful complex which has a hotel, superb facilities and a great course. Favourite Hole: 10th

Golf de Cicé Blossac

Close to Rennes, this course opened in 1992 and is very much in the American style. Suitable for all golfers, it's an easy walk and has wide open fairways and large, generous greens. The clubhouse, with its restaurant and bar, has an authentic country club atmosphere, and beside the lake a new hotel has been built for those that prefer the convenience of staying on site rather than in Rennes, even though the city is only 9 miles away.

Our opinion: Another very good course worth playing in the Rennes area. Favourite Hole: 9th.

• Sail overnight from Portsmouth to St Malo with cabin, arrive the following morning
• On arrival drive to La Bretesche cottages where you will stay for 2 nights

• Return on the afternoon sailing from Caen to Portsmouth

Golf de la Bretesche

Ref: FGL003

Golf de la Bretesche is a must visit when in Western Loire or South Brittany, offering a spectacular setting and a course in immaculate condition. The focal point is the fairytale château and lake, with holes skirting around the estate and fairways lined with colourful hydrangeas and rhododendrons. After your round relax in the stone clubhouse or maybe the hotel, all in tastefully converted outbuildings of the old estate.

Our opinion: Everything about La Bretesche is top class. Favourite Hole: 9th.
