Diane Barriere-Desseigne (Golf International Barriere La Baule)
This course beautifully weaves its way around a large five-hectare lake. The back nine offers the tougher challenge with water coming into play on almost every hole. The fairways are wide and open but a degree of accuracy is required when playing approach shots as many of the greens are well guarded by bunkers.
