Golf des Sables d'Or
Brittany, France
Golf des Sables d'Or is one of Brittany's oldest courses, with its first nine holes traced across the grey dunes of the Fréhel coast in 1925. The full 18-hole, par-71 layout measures 5,489 metres and sits halfway between Cap Fréhel and Cap d'Erquy, just inland from the famous pink granite beach resort of Sables-d'Or-les-Pins. The course follows the natural contours of ancient dunes and heath, combining genuine links characteristics — firm turf, subtle borrows, open horizons — with the rustic charm of a club that has been welcoming golfers for a century. Coastal winds are integral to the experience. Playable year-round, the course appeals equally to serious handicappers and those seeking a historic, unhurried game along Brittany's northern coast.
