Brittany Ferries' Golfing Breaks in South West France

With the wettest winter on record behind us now, golfers will be keen to dust down their clubs and brush up their golfing skills as soon as possible.

All thoughts of waterlogged courses can be left behind when heading off to the drier climate of the Aquitaine region of France where Brittany Ferries offer a range of golf holiday packages. There is a choice of high standard courses to choose from in the Bordeaux and Biarritz areas combined with good value hotels.

Golf du Medoc, north of Bordeaux has ben competed to a Scottish Links course and is one of the top golf venues in Europe where the long par 4s make it a real challenge. Alternatively Golf de Bordeaux-Pessac in the heart of the wine country bordered by the Landes forest pine trees has wide rolling fairways and greens defended by huge bunkers.

Other courses in the area include Golf de Seignosse, one of the greatest courses in Europe with fairways winding through a huge valley bordered by pines and natural water hazards. Also in this programme is Golf de Moliets designed by Robert Trent Jones, which has hosted many prestigious golf championships.

The clubhouses all have good restaurants so after a round of golf some French cuisine and fines wines can be savoured before the real golfing die-hards head out for another round.

Brittany Ferries' golf programme includes return ferry travel with car and a green fee for every night's stay in France. A three night stay at the three star Golf Hotel Blue Green at the heart of the Seignosse golf course, north of Biarritz, costs just £256 per person up to 30 June. Tee times can be pre-booked at the chosen courses.
