Saint-Malo Golf Resort is a 27-hole championship complex located in Le Tronchet, Brittany, just 20 minutes from the historic walled city of Saint-Malo and Mont-Saint-Michel. Designed by Hubert Chesneau — the architect behind Golf National, venue of the 2018 Ryder Cup — the resort combines forest, granite outcrops and lakes to deliver a course that is both visually dramatic and strategically demanding.
The flagship Surcouf Course is an 18-hole par 72 stretching 6,102 metres (slope 140), weaving between the Étang de Mirloup and stands of Breton woodland. It has hosted the Saint-Malo Golf Open on the Alps Tour since 2016, testament to its championship credentials. The shorter Old Course offers a welcoming 9-hole layout well-suited to beginners and families.
On-site facilities include a 4-star hotel with 30 rooms, a restaurant with panoramic terrace overlooking the 18th green, a bar, outdoor swimming pool and the Green Cevaer Academy training centre, which operates year-round. The resort makes an ideal base for a golf break combining quality golf with the culture and coastline of northern Brittany.

Terre Blanche Golf Resort is one of France’s most prestigious golf destinations, set within a 301-hectare natural estate in the hills of Tourrettes, in the heart of Provence. Just a few kilometres from the glamour of the Côte d’Azur and the iconic towns of Cannes, Grasse, and Saint-Raphaël, the resort offers an exceptional golfing experience surrounded by pine forests, fragrant landscapes, and stunning views over the Provençal countryside.
The resort is home to two 18-hole championship courses designed by renowned architect Dave Thomas, both featuring his trademark jagged-edge bunkers and immaculately maintained greens. Le Château (Par 72, 6,616 metres) is the flagship course, open to visitors with a handicap of less than 36. Its generously undulating fairways weave through mature oaks and tall pines, with spectacular water hazards — most notably the signature downhill par-5 11th hole — making every round a true championship experience. Le Riou (6,005 metres) is a more technical and demanding layout reserved for members and hotel guests, offering vertiginous views over the surrounding Provençal villages.
Ranked among the best courses in continental Europe, Terre Blanche holds both the European Tour Destination and Leading Golf labels, and is home to the world’s first European Tour Performance Institute training centre. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or a passionate golfer seeking an unforgettable round in the South of France, Terre Blanche delivers an experience that is as beautiful as it is challenging.
Le Golf Municipal d’Évreux offers 18 holes with two distinct personalities halfway between Paris and Deauville in Normandy. The links-style front nine contrasts with the technical tree-lined back nine. The par-3 13th plays over an old railway track; the 18th finishes with a pond and panoramic clubhouse view. Great value accessible from Paris. Book your tee time in Normandy.
