A couple of fairly straight-forward parkland holes loosen you up before you’re presented with the famous views and magnificent links holes running almost to the cliff’s edge.

All told, the classic design rewards bumps and runs whatever the weather and don’t try to attack the flags, as the greens are small and well-protected. The lovely “villa” clubhouse is ideal – big windows affording outstanding Channel views, friendly service and tasty dishes. Easy walking except for a big climb around the turn. 31 miles north-east of Deauville and 42 miles west of Dieppe.
