The course

Initially, a rather flat course, quite wide, it becomes, over time, more and more difficult with the surrounding vegetation which develops, in particular the pine who are now starting to tuck in fairways imposingly.

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.

 the greens are rather large but the bunkers are always well placed and ready to recover inaccuracies in both approaches to the green and face-offs. Les Fontenelles golf course is, without a doubt, a beautiful course for players of all levels who want to have a good sporting time in a friendly environment.

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