Located in the Ain in Villars les Dombes, 35 kilometres from Lyon by the A 46 motorway and 33 kilometres from Bourg-en-Bresse, The Nail Golf Course, 3rd Golf Stars, is an 18-hole course, par 67 of 4821 meters, open all year round.

There is no need to book your departures in advance.

Designed to preserve its natural site around a 12 hectare pond, it is quite technical and is aimed at all golfers, beginners and experienced, who will be seduced by the superb setting of the Dombes. The water is present on several holes, which encourages you not to leave without taking your net.

To forget your potential bogeys, you can relax in the spacious restaurant where there is a friendly atmosphere to enjoy traditional home cooking with authentic dishes. A golfer's menu is available at lunchtime. On the accommodation side, an agreement has been reached with Domaine de la Bellière, which offers guest rooms.

To extend this nature-themed escape, take the time to discover the Bird Park, one of the most beautiful bird collections in Europe, near the golf course unless you prefer to follow the heritage course in Dombes to reach Notre-Dame des Dombes Abbey in Plantay, a beautiful cultural and gourmet stop.
