Golf de la Bretesche

Golf de la Bretesche is one of western France's most prestigious golf destinations, set within a 1,100-hectare estate at Missillac, between Vannes and Saint-Nazaire. The 18-hole, par-72 course measures 6,015 metres and was designed by Cotton and Baker in 1967, its fairways threading through ancient woodlands and around a series of serene lakes, all overlooked by the Gothic towers of the Château de la Bretesche. The parkland setting provides shelter from the elements and a level of visual drama matched by few courses in Brittany. For golfers after refinement and luxury, the onsite five-star Relais & Châteaux hotel and spa add a dimension well beyond most golf destinations. The course is technically varied and suits accomplished players, though the setting alone makes it a rewarding experience at any level.
