Saint-Cast-Pen-Guen is a relatively short course at 5,440 yards with a par of 68, but it is surprisingly challenging. The course starts out with a very links-like feel, then climbs upward and becomes more parkland in nature, offering some magnificent views of the Emerald coast. The back nine continues along the seaside, which is bordered by pine trees, broom flowers and hydrangeas.

The sea breeze is ever present and the greens nearly always very fast so don't expect to play under your handicap just because of the modest yardage. The clubhouse has some great seaside views and is a great location for enjoying a post-round drink and snack. Facilities at Golf de St Cast Pen Guen include a putting green, covered practice ground, coaching courses, equipment hire, trolley hire, pro shop, clubhouse, bar, restaurant and Golf car hire.

Also well known as a family resort, St-Cast Le Guildo has seven good beaches to choose from, a riding centre, tennis courts and a sailing school.
