Dinard Golf

About the club

Designed by Tom Dunn in 1887, this golf course is the second oldest in France after Pau (1856). It is located on the Emerald Coast, by the sea which can be seen from the 18 holes. They all have a name (La Patte de Chien, La Bérésina...). This course is neither long nor tiring. It may therefore seem easy, but the final score reminds us of reality. For if it is not difficult, it is delicate: sandy soil, undulating fairways, small, elevated and very fast greens, many bunkers, very few trees, but many brooms and gorse. Dinard is also the wind! Like on a bicycle, it is almost always from the front or from the side and it is much harder. Sometimes he can also be very strong and then you have to keep the ball low and have several in your bag. But the wind has other advantages. It moderates extremes, reduces heat, softens harsh winters and chases rain-laden clouds inland. This place of legends is a classified site where many varieties of remarkable animals and plants have been identified. A biotope decree protects them and makes it a nature reserve. For the rest, the route is full of history. It welcomes lovers of the place, including many champions. Federal competitions are played there as well as classification cups. It is a real historical link.
