Golf de Saint-Saëns (Saint-Saens)
Saint-Saens is a 6,572 yard, par 71 course carved through a 200-acre estate next to the Eawy forest, reputed to be one of the most beautiful beech groves in France. Its charm lies in a blend of beauty and diversity, making it a good testing golf course. There are three distinct sections: the valley (crossed by the river "la Varenne"), the forest (narrow fairways and enclosed greens surrounded by trees) and the high plateau (hilly, bunkers, wind). The clubhouse is installed in the 19th century castle.
