Laid out by the legendary Henry Cotton nearly 50 years ago, this is a special golf course due mainly to its spectacular setting and immaculate condition.
At Missillac, near St Nazaire, at the mouth of the mighty river Loire, the focal point is a fairytale chateau with turrets, towers, battlements, drawbridge, moat and tranquil lake.
And surrounding this is a great forest with colourful hydrangeas and rhododendrons skirting the fairways traditionally cut in a crosshatch chessboard style.
The velvet greens are well protected by pristine white sand bunkers, but its a fair test and, as its fairly flat, good for walking. Hit it straight, stay out of the trees and you should be fine! Its elegant layout promises true enjoyment for beginners and seasoned players alike.
After your round, relax in the stone clubhouse or the comfortable hotel, all in tastefully converted outbuildings of the old estate. Or why not take a dip in the beautiful outdoor pool or visit the Spa Centre.
We also offer a cluster of cottages, only a 5-minute stroll from the hotel. Whether you choose the comfort of the cottages or splendour of the hotel, you will be able to take advantage of the reduced green fees whilst staying here.
Only a short drive from Southern Brittany, this really is a place that definitely merits going that extra mile for.
