Golf Club de Granville

A must for fans of real links golf

5.0 of 5 starsReviewed June 29, 2025

The course is in great condition, a true links golf like you would expect from Scotland (only with better weather...).
The course is hard, with dry grass in places. The rough is often not very dense, but still a serious problem, as it's never actually in a good position in the rough. The fairways and greens undulate as they should, constantly challenging your imagination in your short game and putting. Even in your long game, it's helpful to know the contours of the terrain and play on the 'right' side.
I was very lucky to be able to play with a member (thank you Alain!!), even if some knowledge of the course is not synonymous with good play or score ;-)
The best holes: For me, the par 3s are actually the best, with the 16th standing out with its approximately 15m climb to the green on three sides. The uphill chip is either perfect or deserves a repeat... The par 4/5 holes, however, are hardly less exciting, never boring, and certainly very difficult in strong winds (which I didn't experience).
Unfortunately I only had time for one round, but if you like links golf and have time you'll probably enjoy playing here three or five times.
Clubhouse: Traditional English style, in keeping with the club's age. Cozy, with a lovely terrace. I can't comment on the food.
The office: Super friendly and they speak some English. A pro shop that sells more than just balls and basics.
Practice facility: In my opinion absolutely first class, even though one pitching green has just been overhauled.
