Golf de Sainte Agathe at Neris Les Bains

5.0 out of 5 starsReviewed August 23, 2011

This is a stunning course with magnificent views of the old railway viaducts and of Montlucon. It is a hilly course and can be quite testing as the ball often ends up either above or below the feet, although the first five holes are relatively flat. A stream runs across or along six holes and there are also four lakes. The par 5 9th can be a little daunting as one drives off the top of a hill with out of bounds all down the right-hand side, whilst the 11th is a par 3 where the green is almost completely surrounded by water. The greens are beautifully kept and although the rough can be unforgiving, the fairways are true. The facilities are good and the staff are most welcoming. Busy first thing in the morning, one rarely has to wait to tee off during late morning or mid afternoon. Overall, an excellent day's golf.
