Golf d'Étretat, Golf course on coastal cliffs in Étretat, France.
Golf d'Étretat is a golf course on the Normandy coast with 18 holes laid out across approximately 6073 meters. The course is defined by the English Channel and white limestone cliffs that frame the playing field.
Golf d'Étretat is a golf course in Étretat, Seine-Maritime, on the edge of the English Channel. The source documents give no founding date, architect or tournament history for the course, so its early history cannot be stated here.
The course lies at Étretat, on the Alabaster Coast of the English Channel in Seine-Maritime. The white limestone cliff beside the fairways is the same rock that drew painters to Étretat in the 19th century; Claude Monet painted the cliffs and the needle-like arch of the Porte d'Aval in 1883 and 1885. Golfers putting on the plateau look out over the sea the artists painted.
The course operates year-round with seasonal hours and offers equipment rentals and lessons for players of all levels. Check weather conditions before visiting, as the coastal location can be windy and exposed.
The course sits on the chalk plateau of the Pays de Caux, and the cliff edge borders the playing area directly: the photograph shows mown turf ending at a sheer pale gray-white rock face above the sea. Golfers therefore play beside an active coastal cliff rather than a landscaped hazard.
