Golf
in Brittany
 France
might not have sprung to mind ten years ago when you were planning a golfing holiday
abroad, yet those days have disappeared. Now, with the establishment of various
regional tourist boards focusing solely on attracting golfers, the French have
come up trumps when it comes to fulfilling the needs of travelling golfers from
all corners of the golfing globe.
Brittany has always been a popular destination
for holidaymakers from the UK, yet it has for some time been welcoming goflers
to its wealth of courses. There are 31 golf courses to enjoy in total in Brittany
and each and every one is a delight.
From five star resorts to quaint, hidden
away retreats, every single angle is covered and, best of all, it doesn't cost
the earth. Green fees are ludicrously cheap and the wine, naturally, flows like
water off a duck's back. Too good to be true we hear you say? Not at all, as this
is one place where travelling golfers can have a ball any time of the year.
 One
of the best courses in the region is a links-type offering, Val Queven, which
features huge bunkers and long, rolling fairways flanked by tall, age-old trees.
Another
Brittany highlight is de Quimper-Cornouaille, a challenging Fred Hawtree-designed
course overlooking Concarneau Bay and the Glenan Islands.
The Belle-Ile-en-Mer
Golf Club offers a great opportunity to play a true links course outside Scotland.
This bracing course runs adjacent to the wild coastline and has a number of holes
right by the sea.
Brittany is full of varying types of accommodation and
there are plenty of things to see and do when you are not on the golf course.
