Eisenhower Championship Layout

at Omaha Beach Golf Club

Location: Normandy, France | Style: Championship composite | Par: 72 | Length: approx. 6,800 yards

The Eisenhower Championship Layout at Omaha Beach Golf Club offers a unique and varied test, combining the best elements of the club’s two original courses. Featuring the back nine of De Gaulle and the front nine of Patton, this composite layout blends sheltered parkland golf with exposed coastal challenges.

The round begins on the tree-lined fairways of De Gaulle, where accuracy and positioning are key. As the course transitions onto Patton, the landscape opens up dramatically, bringing coastal winds and sea views into play. This contrast creates a dynamic flow, rewarding adaptability and thoughtful shot selection throughout.

Course highlights

• Two-course combination – A seamless blend of De Gaulle’s back nine and Patton’s front nine creates a varied and engaging round

Signature Holes

One of the standout moments on the Eisenhower Layout comes as the round transitions onto the Patton Course.
