Grenoble Intl. (Bresson)
Golf International de Grenoble Bresson: With the snowy Alps in full view at the first hole, you know you're in for some mountain golf (though not as high as you can play in the Alps). The undulations on the course can make it feel a bit like mountaineering if you are not too fit, so best to take a buggy (even if many of the locals do not).
Trent Jones' skillful earth mounding and bunkering has given some additional definition to some of the holes, although the tight tree-line (very tight at times) will leave you in no doubt where the right line is - just a question of getting the ball to behave itself and follow that line.
Impossible not to mention the views from the course - simply stunning. Whether you are looking up to the mountains, down into the valleys or across to Grenoble itself (at the tough par-5 9th) you will surely be taken in by the breathless beauty of these surroundings.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

The ski station you can see from the early holes is Chamrousse, a favourite with Grenoble skiers (altitude 2526 metres).

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
