Beaujolais and Dombes - Golf mad 3 days golf holiday

Just a stones throw to the north of Lyon in central eastern France are two fascinating regions, one famous for its wine and the other for its man-made lakes. Many of you will know all about the Beaujolais, but far fewer will be familiar with the region that sits just the other side of the river Saône: The Dombes. This area of gently undulating woodlands, wetlands and agricultural fields is ideal territory for golf and a number of quality courses have been developed over the last century. Side by side, these two regions offer the best of both worlds; with very good golf being matched by quality wine and gourmet food.

If you have free time on your arrival or departure day, you may choose to fit in another round of golf! If not, there is plenty to see and do including visits to the Beaujolais villages for some wine tasting, the medieval village of Perouges or France's second city and world heritage site, Lyon.

Day 1: Arrival Arrival at Hotel, relax or visit the area Days 2-4: Golf 36 holes golf per day on six different courses. 36 holes on the 2 courses at the prestigious international club Golf de Lyon 36 holes on the 2 courses at Golf de Gouverneur 18 holes at the delightful Club de Bresse, and 18 holes at the Golf du Beaujolais Tee times organised to allow for lunch and a good rest between rounds. The above courses are arguably the best the region north of Lyon has to offer. Day 5: Departure If you have time before your departure you may wish to visit the area or fit in another round of golf! (depending on time of your departure).
