About Dinard Golf Club
THE GOLF COURSE
Dinard, in north Brittany, is France's second oldest golf club. It was laid out by returning army officers drawn to neighbouring Saint Malo due to its reputation as a major hub for marine trade. They encouraged the construction of a railway, then a tennis club and finally in 1887…the Willie Dunn designed links over 50 hectares of stunning coastline.
As you drive up to the art deco clubhouse, the flat course looks deceptively simple. But Dinard is proper links golf and the course is made all the trickier because no two consecutive holes face the same direction.
A little under 6000 yards and with a par of 68, it takes a very good golfer to play to their handicap twice in a row. Dinard provides an excellent game of golf with each hole offering a different challenge. Don't relax when you stand on the tee for the five par threes, four of which are pretty much on the beach. There’s fine food and a charming atmosphere in the clubhouse. It's all very reminiscent of the days of PG Wodehouse.

Our take
At 6,000 yards and a par of 68, Dinard reads gently on the card, but this is France's second oldest club, a real links, and the Channel wind sets the exam.
- Serious golfersThe scorecard says short, but this is proper links golf and the flat ground is far more deceptive than it first appears. Holes this old ask for shots along the turf that resort courses never do.
- Higher handicapsShort, flat and without a single water hazard, so on a still day this is as playable as links golf gets. When the wind blows in off the sea, take an extra club and swallow your pride.
- Buddy tripsSaint Malo is next door, which makes Dinard an easy addition to a self-drive Brittany trip, and the art deco clubhouse is worth lingering in after the round.
