I may not be Mystic Meg, but I foresee that 2010 will be the year for French golf travel. With fantastic breaks including quality food, lively town centre locations and enough fantastic golf courses to satisfy even the most discerning golfer – and now better value then ever – UK golfers will be flooding across the Channel in their thousands.
If you’re not picking up the phone and booking your break already, here are my top 5 reasons why France should be your first choice for 2010
- All regions are very easily accessible from the UK
'Eurotunnel crossings only take 35 mins from Folkestone, are great value and get you on the courses quicker!'
'We have fantastic offers with all Brittany Ferries routes, whether into Normandy or Brittany.'
'There are plenty of low cost airlines flying all over France, especially to some of the Southern regions.'
- Reduced onsite spend
France has recently reduced its VAT on food – from 19.6% to 5.5%. This means that right across France your meals will be cheaper and in turn, more money can go towards beer and wine
- Improving exchange rate
Since the beginning of the year, the pound has been slowly regaining its strength against the Euro. If this trend continues there’s no reason why it won’t reach 1.20 by the end of 2009.
- Variety of choice
In France there’s something for everyone. Whether you prefer luxury hotels, cheap and cheerful town centre locations or self catering cottages; whether you’re a links enthusiast, a fan of woodland layouts or looking for a view over the Mediterranean or Atlantic, France can cater for you.
- Value
With everyone becoming more price conscious, France is going to be leading the way amongst the European countries in the reducing their prices for 2010. The vast majority of venues have already started discounting their rates, with many of them even cheaper than in 2008!
