Golf de Granville Baie du Mont St Michel, Golf course in Bréville-sur-Mer, France.
Golf de Granville Baie du Mont St Michel is a 27-hole course that spreads across natural dunes along the Normandy coast, with an 18-hole main layout and a 9-hole secondary layout. The terrain follows the land's natural shape with open fairways and rough areas shaped by coastal winds and sandy ground.
The course was founded in 1912 and underwent major redesign in 1921 by architect Harry Shapland Colt following its use as military grounds during World War I. This redesign established the course's character as a links-style layout that has remained largely unchanged.
The course is named after Granville and Mont-Saint-Michel, reflecting its position between the Norman coast and this famous tidal island. Players can see both landmarks from the fairways, creating a strong sense of place that connects the game to local geography.
The course sits close to the coast and is easy to reach from most positions, with good parking on-site. Visitors should wear windproof clothing and prepare for changeable weather, as the sea heavily influences conditions on the course.
This is France's only authentic links-style golf course, with winds and terrain similar to Scottish courses. This rare quality attracts players seeking the traditional British golfing experience on the French coast.
