Set in the heart of the Breton countryside, Saint-Malo Golf Course at Saint-Malo Golf Resort is one of northern France’s most respected inland golf destinations. Located just a short drive from the historic walled city of Saint-Malo, the resort is spread across a peaceful 100-hectare estate of lakes, mature woodland, and gently rolling terrain, offering an authentic and relaxing French golf experience.

The flagship 18-hole Surcouf Course was designed by renowned French architect Hubert Chesneau, whose portfolio also includes Golf National, host of the Ryder Cup. Opened in 1986, the course delivers a classic parkland feel, enhanced by water hazards, tree-lined fairways, and subtle elevation changes. Its thoughtful routing around Mirloup Lake and through Mesnil Forest ensures variety throughout the round, balancing strategic challenge with playability. Complementing the championship layout is a welcoming 9-hole Old Course, ideal for beginners, relaxed rounds, or sharpening the short game.

Signature Holes

Several holes stand out on the Surcouf course, but the par-3 holes played across Mirloup Lake are particularly memorable. Requiring precision from the tee and nerve under pressure, these holes perfectly encapsulate the course’s blend of beauty and strategic challenge.
