Golf de Saint-Jean-de-Monts is an 18-hole Scottish-style links course located in the Vendée region of France, opened in 1988. The course measures 5,896 metres with a par of 72. Its distinctive layout divides play between contrasting landscapes: the front nine holes wind through pine and oak forests where wildlife such as deer may be spotted, while the back nine holes run alongside the Atlantic Ocean, offering spectacular views towards Île d'Yeu.
Built on sandy subsoil, the course benefits from the Vendée coast's mild winter climate, allowing year-round play in all seasons. This genuine links course presents various challenges that shift with seasonal changes, weather conditions, light, and wind patterns. The course has been regularly ranked among France's 30 most beautiful golf courses. It is situated within a fragile natural environment that the club actively protects. Facilities include a driving range, a 6-hole pitch and putt course, professional tuition, and a clubhouse with restaurant and pro shop.
