What a beautifully idyllic golf break setting. This is definitely one for couples or small groups looking for an intimate and romantic environment.
AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
The spectacular Golf d’Etretat is just a minute from the hotel. If you want variety, travelling to Dieppe or the superb courses around Deauville will take around 1 hour.
Where you can play
Golf Barriere de Deauville from £249pp
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 from £249pp
Golf Barriere de Saint-Julien has 27 holes and a beautiful clubhouse where you can relax after a hard day on the golf course. The two golf courses are “Le Vallon” (18) and “Le Bocage” (9) which both offer a testing game of golf.

Golf de l'Amiraute from £195pp
Opened in 1992, this is a Florida marshland golf course. Wide fairways and bunkers, plenty of water and large greens make this a challenging golf course. The clubhouse is superb, modern and contemporary.

Golf d'Etretat from £195pp
Stunning views, with some spectacular holes running along the cliffs. The course runs dangerously close to the cliff edge and when the wind blows, slicers beware!

Golf de Deauville Saint-Gatien from £225pp
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 Club du Champ de Bataille from £209pp
Golf Club du Champ de Bataille is carved out of mature trees with the occasional water hazard. Both the greens and the fairways are highly renowned for being in excellent condition.

Saint-Saens Golf Hotel from £185pp
The beautiful Golf de Saint Saens runs around the Chateau and amongst the Eawy forest. It is technical but not too demanding. The clubhouse with its bar is set inside the old chateau.
