Golf Barriere de Deauville
Designed in 1929 by Tom Simpson, this is a magnificent course testing even the best of golfers. There is no water on the course but strategically placed bunkers and quick greens make it difficult to score well.

Golf Barriere de Saint-Julien
27 holes onsite with a beautiful clubhouse. The Par 72 ‘Le Vallon’ is physically tough and is technical in parts. Hit straight off your drive and you could be rewarded.

Golf de l'Amiraute
Opened in 1992, this is a Florida marshland course. Wide fairways and bunkers, plenty of water and large greens make this a challenge. The clubhouse is superb, modern and contemporary.

Golf de Deauville Saint-Gatien
Surrounded by forests and overlooking the estuary of the river Seine, the 27 hole Deauville-Saint-Gatien shares its holes between a valley and the higher ground of the plains. Lovely Norman style clubhouse. Magnificent.

Golf de Houlgate Beuzeval
Located in typical Normandy-hedgerow-country and just 10 minutes from Deauville, this undulating golf course offers superb scenery. It is quite a tight course necessitating precise iron play.

Golf de Garcelles
The first couple of holes of the course lull you into a false sense of security with their wide, open fairways. However, with water featuring prominently on the back nine and multi-levelled greens, beware!
