About De la Bresse Golf Club
Golf de la Bresse is a lovely layout designed by Jeremy Pern more than 30 years ago. Don't relax too much when you see the beautiful setting as the well-maintained course has plenty of surprises in store for you. De La Bresse Golf Club is a very enjoyable day out but make sure you allow time for lunch in the excellent clubhouse.

Our take
La Bresse looks benign from the clubhouse terrace, but Pern hid surprises everywhere and each nine closes with a hole that has wrecked plenty of cards.
- Serious golfersWater shapes almost every decision here, and the round builds to two closing holes, the 9th and the 18th, where a brave line either sets up the score or sinks it.
- Higher handicapsPack a generous supply of balls; there is water waiting on what feels like every second shot. The flat walk, barely 50 metres of climb all round, at least keeps the legs fresh.
- SocietiesBuild lunch into the plan, the clubhouse cooking deserves it, and the course is 40 minutes from Domaine du Gouverneur so it slots neatly into a Lyon-area itinerary.

What you are actually facing
The walk. Flat, and an easy walk — 49 metres of climb over the round.
The wind. The wind is usually northerly, averaging 10 km/h, gusting to 36. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.
The water. Water is very much in play across this course. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.
The design. Jeremy Pern.
The holes that will cost you. The 9th, the 18th and the 13th. The 9th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
