UGOLF CARQUEFOU

The Golf de Carquefou, 44-Loire-Atlantique, is an 18-hole Par 71 golf course of 5190 meters, from the UGOLF chain. It covers 67 hectares 20 minutes from Nantes in the park of the Castle of the Epinay. Created by architect Martin Hawtree, this route is hilly and lined with century-old trees. It has slightly undulating greens with an area of 450 square meters. Small rivers run through the golf course from side to side, forming ponds and streams.

The approaches of greens are tricky to execute because water obstacles and bunkers defend the flags well. Watch out for the greens because they are very fast. If the go is not easy to play, the return remains complicated with very narrow fairways as at hole 11 and hole 13, a Par 3 of more than 170 meters in yellow start, with a water obstacle in front of the green surrounded by trees.

The practice is of high quality with 30 stations including 10 covered, accessible 7/7 days and 24 hours. It includes 2 putting greens, one at the entrance to the golf course, the other at the start of the 1. This area is complemented by an approach green and a training bunker. A 3-hole Par 9 course from 50 to 80 meters is proposed in order to work the small game. The Golf Academy is very active in training new golfers. Internships are offered throughout the year.

The clubhouse has PMR access and offers free wifi. At the restaurant on the 19th, it's time to sit in front of the terrace where nature stretches as far as the eye can see, and taste Thai cuisine with magical names. Like the tears of the tiger, a nod to our own disappointments in the face of a recalcitrant putter...
