Course Tips

Hole N°1 "Les Vignes"

Short Par 4. Fairway open. Main difficulty: the green. You should never be too long because the downhill putt will be impossible.

Hole N°2 "La Vallée"

Out of bounds all along the left of the hole; fairway bunkers and a very "inviting" water hazard to the right; a real testing par 5

Hole N°4 "Les Vignes"

Stressful Par 5 from the tee with plum trees flanking the fairway. However, if you do play into the plum trees, they are more of a psychological obstacle as the ball often remains playable. The green is well protected on the left. Be careful of the "out of bounds" behind the green.

Hole N°5 "La Vallée"

A long par 4 which should be played with a fade shot to keep clear of the bunkers on the left; a very technical "bowl" shaped green.

Hole N°6 "Les Vignes"

The easiest Par 5 on the course if you stay away from the rough on the left; easy to lose the ball. A Birdie hole!

Hole N°9 "Les Vignes"

A long, technical Par 4. The medium handicap player should be prudent off the tee and play the ball short of the water on the right. A good second shot is necessary to avoid the deepest bunker on the course in front of the green.

Hole N°10 "Le Lac"

Be aware of the "out of bounds" to the left. Narrow sloped Fairway. The green is well protected by the oak trees.

Hole N°11 "Le Lac"

Short Par 3. Be very precise with the drive and play on the left hand side of the green to avoid a downhill putt. The putt is always very difficult

Hole N°15 "Le Lac"

Before, this hole was a short par 5. Today it is a long par 4 with a very small green. It is one of the most difficult holes on the « Lac » course.

Hole N°17 "Le Lac"

Par 5 with a big dog-leg to the left. Play an iron or a small wood off the tee, or you will end up out of bounds on the right. Play short of the bunkers protecting the green on the second shot. Birdie hole.

Hole N°18 "Le Lac"

Par 4. Dog-leg to the left. Short drive from within the oak trees onto the plateau; do not try to cut left onto the ridge. For the second shot, play a 170 metre 3-wood over the water. There is a safe route to the right of the water with a 7-iron.

Hole N°19 Bar "Le Club"

Count how many balls go into the lake!
