What kind of challenge can I expect at Golf des 3 vallons, especially with its 'vallons' (valleys)?

Don't let the picturesque setting fool you; Golf des 3 vallons offers a genuine test of your game, particularly due to its significant elevation changes. You'll encounter several uphill and downhill lies, demanding precise club selection and a sharp short game around the undulating greens. We definitely recommend a buggy if you're not up for a serious workout, though walking it is incredibly rewarding.
