Golf la Prée La Rochelle, Coastal golf course in Nieul-sur-Mer, France.
Golf la Prée La Rochelle is an 18-hole course located in the coastal town of Nieul-sur-Mer featuring two contrasting nine-hole sections. The front nine offers wide-open fairways with plenty of space, while the back nine becomes tighter with lakes and streams creating a more challenging layout.
The course was designed in 1988 by architect Olivier Brizon, who incorporated the natural marshland of the area into its layout. This integration of local geography shaped the playing characteristics that remain today.
The course attracts golfers from the surrounding region who gather here throughout the year for friendly rounds and club events. Local players consider this their home course for regular practice and social meetings.
The course is easily accessible with parking facilities available for visitors. It is advisable to book ahead or call in advance, especially on weekends and during peak season.
At holes 8 and 9, the course makes a dramatic shift in direction with views opening toward the Atlantic Ocean and nearby islands offshore. This turning point offers a completely different perspective on the coastal setting.
