Must-Play Courses: Golf Barrière Deauville and Omaha Beach Golf Club

Among the many golf courses in Normandy, two stand out for their quality, history, and exceptional location. Perched above the renowned seaside resort town, Golf Barrière Deauville features 27 holes spread across three courses designed by the legendary architects Tom Simpson and Henry Cotton. This iconic club offers spectacular views over the sea, the lush Pays d’Auge countryside, and the town of Deauville. In an elegant and serene atmosphere, players enjoy impeccably maintained fairways, premium facilities, and a distinctly Norman charm that blends discreet luxury with warm hospitality.

Further west, in Port-en-Bessin, Omaha Beach Golf Club welcomes golfers with two 18-hole courses, each with a strong identity. The “La Mer” course is bold and technical, dramatically overlooking the historic cliffs and D-Day beaches, offering breathtaking coastal views. The “Le Manoir” course, more wooded and undulating, winds through a former Norman orchard and peaceful farmland. This club gracefully combines sport and remembrance, with subtle nods to World War II history. Whether for the beauty of the setting or the depth of the challenge, these courses are essential stops on any golfing trip to Normandy.

Beyond the Fairway: Culture, Cuisine, and Relaxation

Beyond its golf courses, Normandy offers a rich cultural and sensory experience. As a land of remembrance, it is home to numerous historic sites linked to the 1944 D-Day landings, including Omaha, Utah, and Juno Beaches, military cemeteries, and must-visit museums like the Caen Memorial and the D-Day Museum in Arromanches. These moving sites provide deep historical insight while allowing visitors to explore a stunning and dramatic coastline. Just a short drive away, charming coastal towns such as Honfleur, Cabourg, and Barfleur reveal timeless beauty with their cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, and lively harbors.

The pleasures of a stay in Normandy also lie on the plate: the region is renowned for its culinary traditions and local produce. Food lovers will delight in seafood platters, iconic cheeses like Camembert AOP, Livarot, and Pont-l’Évêque, as well as regional desserts such as teurgoule (a cinnamon rice pudding) and tarte normande. All of this is best enjoyed with a glass of dry cider, pommeau, or calvados in a warm, authentic setting.

To complete the experience in comfort and tranquility, Normandy offers a wide range of accommodations. Whether you’re dreaming of a stay in a historic manor, a charming seaside hotel, a cozy countryside guesthouse, or a modern retreat with spa and pool, you’ll find the perfect place to unwind between rounds. Each property reflects the region’s distinctive hospitality—where comfort, character, and the art of living come together.
