Golf de Saint Jean de Monts

In the heart of Vendée, the Fontenelles golf course is located less than 100km from Nantes, 33km from La Roche-sur-Yon and 30km from Sables d'Olonne. An 6-hole course is spread over some 18 km, punctuated by mounds, lakes, maritime pines and oaks: sometimes the winds of the open sea blow, with the Atlantic Ocean ten kilometers away ...

The originality of the 18-hole course of the Fontenelles golf course lies in its landscapes typical of the Vendée bocages, gently undulating, intimately mixing ponds, streams, peat mounds and wooded hills. This public golf course, created at the end of the 80s, offers 18 holes designed in the countryside. It is also known as the Golf Bluegreen du Pays de Saint Gilles Croix de Vie.
The course
At the start, a rather flat course, quite wide, it becomes, over time, more and more difficult with the surrounding vegetation which develops, in particular the pines which now begin to border the fairways in an imposing manner.

Many water obstacles are present and come to spice up this route which alternates in the end, relatively easy holes with others rather complicated to understand. A par 5 of over 500 meters will delight long hitters. Hole not necessarily very difficult unlike hole n ° 15 PAR 5 also, not too long, but quite narrow where two water hazards seriously complicate the game.

Finally, the greens are rather large but the bunkers are always well placed and ready to recover the inaccuracies as well in the approaches of green as the put in play. The golf Les Fontenelles is, without a doubt, a beautiful course for the players of all levels who want to have a good sporting time in a friendly setting.

The foliage of greenery and the bodies of water leave their mark on the fairways, some vast, others narrow, where the length of certain strokes requires patient and skilful progression while carefully avoiding natural obstacles.
