Venue

Golf Club de Nantes

Pays de la Loire, France

Golf Club de Nantes is an 18-hole, par 72 championship course located in Vigneux de Bretagne near Nantes, France. Founded in 1921, it is the region's oldest golf course. Designed by Franck Pennink, the course spans 56 hectares of wooded terrain featuring a beautiful, undulating landscape. The layout combines traditional design with creative elements, emphasizing precision over power with strategically placed fairways bordered by century-old trees and lined with pines and cedars. The course presents a genuine technical challenge with carefully maintained greens set within a picturesque natural setting. Key characteristics include tree-lined corridors and varied topography that demand accurate shot placement. The club hosts significant regional competitions and partnerships, including prestigious events such as the Pro-Am de Nantes, the Pro-Am des Jeunes, and the Trophée Inter-Entreprises. The course celebrated its centennial in 2021 and remains a focal point for competitive golf in the Pays de la Loire region.
