Golf Hotel Saint Malo sits within a large estate overlooking a lake and 27 holes of well-maintained parkland golf, designed by the same architect responsible for Le Golf National — a course that has hosted the Ryder Cup. The hotel itself has a genuine golf-resort atmosphere, from a bar that stays lively into the evening to well-proportioned bedrooms, with balcony rooms overlooking the 18th green worth the upgrade for the satisfaction of watching other golfers come home.
The food at Saint Malo is notably good and represents excellent value. The Saint-Yves Brasserie serves throughout the day, while the main restaurant offers a refined menu of seasonal and regional produce. The kitchen team’s background includes time at three well-regarded establishments, and it shows in the quality of what arrives on the plate.
The resort is 20 minutes from the historic walled city of Saint-Malo and equally close to Mont-Saint-Michel, giving non-golfers plenty to explore. Les Ormes and Dinard golf courses are both within thirty minutes, making this a strong base for a Northern Brittany golf break. The 18-hole Surcouf course stretches to 6,101 metres with a par of 72, featuring water hazards and granite rock formations around Mirloup Lake, while a nine-hole course provides a relaxed alternative.
