Lacanau Golf Course
Gently rolling through a pine forest in a magnificent setting, Lacanau Golf Course could have been a true masterpiece.
The layout was designed by John Harris and is simply a good golf course, although half a dozen holes clearly emerge as out of the ordinary. Water hazards are an attractive addiction to the general landscape and call for a little thought before shaping the shot, but they are less than awesome. Naturally, you need to play the course several times to grasp the ideal strategy depending on the tees you choose but here, only the really bad shots are penalised.
Although beginners will find a number of holes very tight, golfers of all abilities can spend an invigorating holiday in the sea air close to the Atlantic Ocean.
