Excellent holiday golf set in very attractive and historic surroundings. This one shouldn’t present too much of a problem to the lower handicappers, but you never know with golf, especially when the wind picks up.
AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
The course is the 2nd oldest in France created in 1897. Although not physically taxing, the many bunkers, tricky greens and sandy soil make it a challenge. The wind can play a massive part in your score.

Dieppe (Golf de Dieppe-Pourville)
Created in 1897, this hilly and woodland course plays within sight of the cliffs with many of the holes on the 6,321 yards, Par 70 course being played out on a plateau overlooking the sea. It's notoriously tricky with the sea wind coming into play on several holes and thick pines lining the fairway on others. Situated near the town centre, the traditionally Normandy style clubhouse is warm and friendly.
