Notes: Les Fontenelles Golf Course is close to Saint-Jean-de-Monts, and is course is a fine addiction to a great itinerary through the historical province of La Vendee. Not far from the seaside resort of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, architect Yves Bureau has as usual, designed a very neat golf course for all golfers. With undulating countryside lined with oak trees and maritime pines. Stretches of water enhance a layout that is free of hidden traps lured to all types of golfer. Visually the course also blends in well with the regions marshlands.
Les Fontenelles is a good length course from the back tees, thus giving the better players the chance to show their mettle without too much to worry about. However the addition of three new stretches of water will make life a little more complicated.
All in all a pretty holiday golf course where the wind can add a little spice and a few extra surprises. |
