The Retreat

 

 

Golfing Breaks at The Retreat are new for 2009. Along with Carp angling, Craig's other passion is Golf, and in between the running of the retreat with his wife Caroline he has found some superb local courses and can arrange everything required for a golfing break in France.

Golfing breaks are available for 4 or 7 days and include:

Accommodation at The Retreat, 4 (or 6) days golf (a different course each day), collection from the airport if you fly and all transport to and from the courses. Breakfast before you go and an evening meal. All green fees and arrangements will be done for you so all you've got to do is play like Tiger Woods!

See you at the 19th Hole!

Below is a brief description of some of the courses with links to websites where available.

Avrille Golf Club

An invigorating stroll in the surrounds of a 17th century château, in the beautiful valley of the maine.

Just 10 minutes from the town center of Angers, in the prestigious setting of the Château de la Perrière, this pretty course, flat and hilly in equal parts, is a nature lover's delight, with no less   than 75 varieties of the maple tree for you to identify !

Variety is its most pleasing feature : well-designed dog-legs and fiercely protected greens 

Sablé-Solesmes Golf Club

In the heart of the Sarthe valley, a land teeming with the natural beauty of its forests, streams and rolling countryside, bloom the 27 holes of the Sablé-Solesmes Golf Club, along with the 9 holes of its teaching course.

Here you will find a veritable jewel born of the passion of a man inspired by his love for his native region, and courses made to measure by the architect Michel Gayon, who at Sablé-Solesmes has created his masterwork

The promoter wanted a golf club of the very highest quality, carefully planned down to the smallest detail, where excellence and a strong golfing challenge would go hand in hand with pleasure and serenity. This objective of bringing forth a course exceptional both for its diversity and for its quality was achieved in 1992, and each year since has witnessed an unstinting effort to refine and improve all aspects of the club. It's an unmissable experience only 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Paris-Montparnasse, ideally situated on the route to the famous Châteaux of the Loire valley

Golf de Baugé

Located in the heart of the "Baugeois" forests, in an exceptionally green setting, this undulating course preserves all the charm of its environment with its natural hazard, rustic and calm setting and will appeal to you by its professional layout.

A driving range on covered and grass tees, putting and pitching greens and a 3 holes compact course complete this par 72 designed by the french architect Alain PRAT.
