Golfers are really spoilt for choice and there is something here which will satisfy all members of a golf group or society.
There is a range of superb courses located in Loire Valley and while we recommend you experience them all, there are certainly a few highlights you have to play when in Loire Valley. The two courses at Golf International Barrière La Baule are absolutely essential to a Loire Valley golf holiday, both courses are recognised for their excellent quality and meandering designs through beautiful forests of oaks and pines.
Golf Club de Saint Jean de Monts is another of Loire Valley’s must-plays. Often recognised as one of Western France’s top courses the design incorporates both a parkland and links feel with the front 9 weaving through pine forests and the second 9 running along the beach, it makes for a greatly varied experience.
