Nampont St Martin
Nampont St Martin Golf Club (Les Cygnes course): Les Cygnes is the longer, flatter and better of the two 18-hole courses here at Nampont. It will exact a good test of your game, based on accuracy and adept course management, as well as the ability to stay out of the ever-present water hazards and play four of the shortest par-3 holes on any "championship" layout.
Your driver and sand-iron may feel a sense of redundancy by the end of the round - big-hitting is not the prime thought to have in mind here and the bunkering is very modest. With water coming into play on just about every hole, your primary task is to work out where the dry land is, then hit onto it. The par-4 second, for example, is one of a few "quirky" holes where carefully picking your way to the green is more a science than an art.
This course provides a good walk through some wonderfully rural countryside, but from a golfing standpoint don't expect a world-beating layout or tip-top maintenance standards.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
