Golf de Val Quéven: An excellent uphill par-4 opening hole sets the tone for this pleasant, undulating course, with its anti-clockwise back-nine wrapped around the clockwise front-nine. The layout is nicely wooded, but never claustrophobically so. Although an increasing volume of housing is becoming more noticeable, it does not overly intrude on the golf course.
Particularly on the front-nine there are some tightish drives to make, but generally this is a fair course, and from the back-tees will give low-handicappers a thorough work-out. Water is not too much in evidence; good bunkering and relatively large greens will keep you focused if trying to build a good score. A pleasant course, with generally a good level of upkeep.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: 36.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
