Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to play Golf du Clou for ideal conditions?

The weather is reliably pleasant, ensuring the course is in prime condition and the surrounding French countryside is at its most beautiful. We recommend booking tee times well in advance during these peak months.
What kind of challenge can I expect from Golf du Clou's layout?
Golf du Clou offers a surprisingly varied challenge, especially with its two distinct 18-hole courses, "Les Sangliers" and "Les Chênes." Les Sangliers is the longer, more demanding track, requiring precise shot-making through its tree-lined fairways and around well-placed water hazards. Les Chênes is a bit more forgiving but still demands strategic play, making it perfect for a relaxed yet engaging round.
Are there any specific holes or features at Golf du Clou that truly stand out?
Absolutely, Golf du Clou has some memorable moments. On Les Sangliers, the par-3 14th demands a precise iron over water to a well-guarded green, a real test of nerve. You'll also love the views from several elevated tees, offering stunning panoramas of the Beaujolais vineyards - a truly French golfing experience.
Beyond the golf, what can I expect from the facilities and overall experience at Golf du Clou?
The clubhouse at Golf du Clou is welcoming and unpretentious, offering a comfortable spot for a post-round drink or a delicious regional meal. Their practice facilities are excellent, with a good driving range and putting greens to sharpen your game. It's a place where you feel genuinely immersed in French golf culture, not just another resort course.
Is Golf du Clou a good value for money compared to other courses in France?
We consider Golf du Clou to offer excellent value, especially given the quality of its two courses and the beautiful setting.
