Perhaps the best course is located at Pléneuf Val André, which should be on every golfers 'must play' list. As the language can sometimes be a barrier, we can liaise with the course on your behalf and book tee times for you so your golf is all arranged before you arrive (small booking fee applies).

Guest comments
'We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in Dinan and the house was everything we thought it would be and more. The men enjoyed the golf and found the courses really good especially the one at Val Andre. Five of our party had not been to Brittany before and they thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - they thought the houses, food and Dinan were fantastic. They found the Brittany people very friendly and are all keen to go back at another time.Thank you for your warm welcome and for letting us rent your lovely house (JB September 2007).
