Fri 16.06.2023 Lisbon, Portugal - Penha Longa Golf Resort
Golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. has left behind one of his masterpieces in the Sintra Mountains, near Lisbon, in which he has integrated space and time into the 27 holes. Space, in that he has incorporated the partly wild natural features of the Sintra National Park into the courses, and time, in that he has skilfully adapted existing relics of Portuguese prehistory into the course. The game is played on generous fairways that converge on artistic, challenging greens. It is not for nothing that the playing possibilities of Penha Longa are listed among the top 30 golf courses in Europe!
Tue 20.06.2023 La Pallice (La Rochelle), France - Golf de la Prée La Rochelle
A golfing treat with two special highlights awaits directly on the coast of the Bay of Biscay. Holes 6 and 13 run right along the coast, adding to the maritime charm of the course. The very playable, wide fairways, guarded by well-placed bunkers characterise the course.
Thu 22.06.2023 St Malo, France - Saint Malo Golf Club
Situated in the middle of Brittany, the course is shaped by a multitude of natural water features, solid granite and mature trees that are centuries old. The 18 holes harmoniously traverse the unspoiled landscape. On the way to the fast greens, you will play on broad, highly modulated fairways. A course that's definitely a challenge.
Fri 23.06.2023 Honfleur, France - Golf Barriere de Deauville Golf
Barriere de Deauville is practically next to the mooring point, on Mont Canisy. Golf has been played here since 1929. The three well laid-out nine-hole sections are divided into red, white and blue to suit all levels. The attractively designed holes weave past mature trees and expansive heathland. The rather narrow fairways afforded by this landscape require excellent accuracy.
