A bit unimaginative
Reviewed July 29, 2023
I played the course in July 2023. Looks great with the castle and the practice facilities right in front of the clubhouse terrace.
The first 6 holes play great. It is better to leave the driver in the bag, the long irons are sufficient. That practices precision. I like playing this way. The 6 goes steeply up the mountain.
Holes 7 to 13 are at the top, but from now on mountaineering is limited. But the whole thing suddenly plays out like a freeway. The fairways are almost wider than they are long! Old fruit trees, that makes up for something. The view is fantastic, but I wonder if they deliberately kept it so simple so that it would suit the tourists. They can try their driver here. There is always room for a more exciting design.
The 13 goes down steeply, the remaining holes are played more carefully, as at the beginning.
All in all a little disappointing, though I don't know of any other place in the area to compare, that has to be said. Clubhouse, restaurant, changing rooms... all a little luxurious, but that has never bothered me. The beer tastes good and you can watch the people practicing.

Great course
Reviewed August 11, 2022
Of all the courses we played in Normandy, it was clearly the best maintained. Although the long period of heat has also left its mark here, the place was still surprisingly green overall. On the tees, however, you had to use the divot tool to drill holes for the tees, as the ground was hard as concrete.
The course is extremely demanding in terms of sport and does not forgive any mistakes. Don't be fooled by the short length of the course (a mere 5,400 meters from Weiß). The course is very hilly and some greens are very elevated. If the approach is half a meter too short, the ball rolls back in front of your feet. If it's a bit too long, the ball lies behind the green. Some of the fairways have an extreme lateral slope, and the ball is lost if you hit the fairway in the middle or even more on the wrong side. In any case, the tracks are very varied and challenging. If you don't know the place, you will experience many surprises.
The course design is sometimes very strange, sometimes the fairways intersect. The signage leaves a lot to be desired, here too you are betrayed and sold without knowledge of the place. The fact that you have to cross the practice area from the 16 to the 17 is very special. Despite all this: You have some very nice views of the landscape and it was fun to play this course, even if you were sometimes overwhelmed. Above all, low handicappers will enjoy this course.

Unfortunately not recommended
Reviewed July 11, 2018
After the first 3 holes you already lost your appetite. The entire area made a very unkempt impression. The tee mark had not been moved for a long time, so that the tees were mostly blank. The bunkers were not maintained at all, the greens in mediocre condition. The space design is in some places more than questionable. All in all, the complex is not worth the green fee and the arrival.
