Golf de Baden

Bretagne, France

Golf de Baden is an 18-hole course designed in 1989, located in Baden within the Parc Naturel Régional du Golfe du Morbihan in Brittany, France. The course stretches 5,952 meters and features generous greens that balance precision with attacking play. The layout encompasses three distinct landscapes: the opening holes follow the Auray River with panoramic views toward the Gulf of Morbihan and nearby sea; the middle section transitions inland through open terrain; the final holes wind through pine forests before returning to the clubhouse. This varied routing creates different atmospheres while maintaining coherent design unity. Characterized as neither links nor parkland nor forest course, Baden successfully combines elements of all three. The moderate length and wide greens make it accessible without sacrificing challenge, requiring judicious decision-making between conservative and aggressive play. The facility includes a 6-hole compact course suitable for beginners and practice, opened in 2018 with three new holes. Situated just 15 minutes from Vannes and 1 hour 15 minutes from Nantes Airport, the course is staffed year-round by 17 personnel plus seasonal workers, with three golf professionals offering instruction throughout the year. A recently renovated restaurant overlooks the course and serves the public daily.
