Dinard Golf Club is the second oldest golf course in France and one of a small handful of genuine links courses in the country. Set on Brittany's Emerald Coast, it's proper seaside golf, rugged in places, full of character and always a touch different depending on the wind.
You're only a short drive from the Hotel Barrière Le Grand Hotel Dinard plus plenty of other good bases nearby, so it's easy to build a long weekend or a longer Brittany run without overcomplicating the logistics. The links terrain can play firm and fast in drier spells, with natural undulation and that ever-present coastal breeze shaping every round. Expect running approaches when conditions allow and club selection that keeps you thinking all the way to the 18th.
Off the course, Dinard is a great springboard for exploring the region. Saint-Malo is close for an afternoon wander around the ramparts, there are cracking coastal walks when you fancy a break from 18 holes and the local seafood is reason enough to stay an extra night. If you're travelling with a mixed group, it's the sort of place where the non-golf bits are genuinely worth doing, not just filler.
If you want a French links that feels authentic rather than manufactured, Dinard is a strong shout, especially if you like history under your feet and a course that rewards imagination. We can pair Dinard with the right hotel and smooth tee times around your dates and budget, so you can focus on the golf rather than the spreadsheets.

Established in 1887, Golf Dinard is France's second-oldest club, but British visitors should not be surprised if it feels like home; although it is located on the Breton coast, Dinard was actually founded by a group of British settlers led by Scotsman Tom Dunn.
Spectacular views of the Emerald Coast may be the most memorable feature of a round at Dinard, but the course itself is a real gem. The British accent is accentuated by the sandy turf, as well as the gorse and heather that adorn the landscape.
Measuring just 5,815 yards, Dinard is relatively short, but the ever-present coastal winds that sweep across the cliff-top location make low scoring a real feat. Internationally renowned for its quality, and revered in France for its historic past, Dinard is an essential component of any good golfing tour of the Brittany region.

Course is short but in good condition, there are some nice surprises, and the wind is the courses defense. The clubhouse is fantastic and the food out of this world! Great value for money!
