L'Etang is Saint-Malo's championship test, a par-72 layout by Hubert Chesnau that stretches to 6,492 yards through the rolling Breton countryside. The course has an American feel, with wide fairways, strategic bunkering and water in play on several holes. Recent design and conditioning work has lifted the standard considerably, making this a quality championship-style test for this part of France. The routing takes full advantage of the natural terrain, with elevation changes adding interest and variety throughout the round. Greens are well protected and demand accurate approach play, while the tree-lined fairways reward straight hitting off the tee.
Saint-Malo sits in one of Brittany's most scenic corners, close to the historic walled city and the dramatic Emerald Coast. The resort combines quality golf with easy access to local culture, seafood restaurants and coastal walks, making it an ideal base for a golf break in this part of France. It's a stunning golf resort and the best place to base yourself for a golfing holiday in Brittany. You can mix your rounds with coastal walks, a wander around the old town and a long lunch that accidentally turns into dinner.
Who is this for?
Golfers seeking a well-conditioned championship course in northern France, with the option to combine golf with coastal scenery, local culture and excellent food. The resort suits couples, small groups and societies looking for a relaxed base within easy reach of Saint-Malo's walled city and the Brittany coastline.
Who is it best for?
Mid to low handicappers who want a genuine test of golf in a scenic setting, and anyone planning a golf break that balances quality rounds with off-course exploration. The resort also works well for groups travelling by ferry from the UK, given its proximity to the port.

The fairways are relatively forgiving, but there are considerable hazards in the shape of water, bunkers and mature trees, and the great variety of Saint-Malo's premier course has made it a firm favourite with golfing visitors to Brittany.
Saint-Malo also boasts a nine hole layout, the Old Course, which is carved through the impressive woodland that dominated the landscape. With some well-designed holes, the Old Course is maintained to the same high standards as Saint-Malo's premier attraction, and is perfect for beginners and the younger generation.
The hotel sits in a 19th-century manor house right on the estate and it's been refurbished into a smart 4-star base that still keeps plenty of character. With just 29 rooms it feels calm and personal, which is ideal for a golf break where you want things easy rather than flashy. Many rooms look out over the grounds, so you get that country house feel without being miles from the coast or the city. The refurbishment has brought modern amenities alongside period charm, and the rooms are well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay after a long day on the course.
For UK golfers it's a particularly handy set-up. You can roll out of bed, grab breakfast and be on the first tee without organising transfers or splitting the group across different hotels. After the round you've got comfortable communal spaces to regroup, compare scorecards and plan the evening, whether that's staying in for dinner or heading into Saint-Malo for a change of scene. The manor house setting gives the hotel a distinct character that sets it apart from generic resort accommodation, and the welcome remains warm and genuine, a quality that has kept UK golfers returning over the years.
Food is a highlight. The restaurant focuses on regional Breton cooking, leaning on local produce and the classics you'd hope for in this part of France. Seafood features strongly, as you would expect given the proximity to the coast, and the standard is consistently high. The chef is known for his excellent interpretation of local culinary classics, drawing on fresh ingredients and traditional techniques that showcase what makes Breton cuisine special. It's a great option for a relaxed dinner on site when you don't fancy travelling, and the quality means you won't feel like you're missing out by staying put.
The lakeside bar is the natural post-round meeting point, especially in a group, with a laid-back atmosphere that suits a quick beer or a slower wind-down. Views over the water and the estate make it an easy spot to settle in after 18 holes, and it's the sort of place where you can stretch out the evening without any pressure to move on. The combination of a championship course on the doorstep, a comfortable manor house hotel and Saint-Malo's old town close enough to dip into whenever you fancy makes this one of the stronger golf resort options in Brittany. Tell us what your group looks like and we can line up the right tee times and make the trip feel as simple as turning up and playing.
