Brittany offers golf across a long Atlantic and Channel coastline, with courses set among dunes, heathland, woodland and open farmland. The region’s maritime setting brings changing wind conditions and a cooler feel than much of inland France. Coastal layouts often reward controlled trajectory and sound course management, while inland venues can provide more sheltered rounds. Distances between courses vary, so a car is useful for combining different parts of the peninsula. May through September is generally the most dependable period for daylight and course conditions, although showers and brisk winds remain possible at any time. Spring can be especially appealing before the busiest summer weeks, while autumn often retains playable temperatures and fewer crowds. Pack waterproof outerwear, layers and a windproof top, particularly for exposed coastal rounds. Brittany is well suited to multi-course trips: stay near the coast for sea-air golf or use a central base to reach both northern and southern areas. Check tee availability and local competition schedules in advance during school holidays. Road journeys can take longer than map distances suggest, especially around popular coastal towns, so leave time between rounds and accommodation changes.
