Green Fees in Brittany: What Golf Costs in 2026
Brittany is the best kept value secret in seaside French golf. The second oldest 18 hole course in France tops out around 100 euros, three scenic coastal courses share 45 minutes of the Emerald Coast at half of Irish prices, and the ferry from the UK lands your own clubs and car an hour from the first tee. Here is what every round costs in 2026, course by course.

The short answer
Plan on 35 to 100 euros for 18 holes in Brittany in 2026, with the whole memorable core of the region inside that band. The headline act is Dinard Golf at Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, open since 1887 and the second oldest 18 hole course in France, founded by British officers and their families who had settled on the Emerald Coast; its clifftop par 68 of 5,313 meters runs about 70 to 100 euros by season. Twenty minutes west, Saint-Cast Pen-Guen, a links by the dunes since 1926, starts around 35 euros, and Pleneuf Val Andre, the celebrated Bluegreen course on the cliffs between Saint-Malo and Saint-Brieuc, moves from about 43 euros in low season to the mid 70s at the summer peak.
Add Saint-Malo Golf Resort inland of the corsair city, with a published standard rate of 59 euros, and you can build a four round week on the north coast for less than two marquee rounds in Scotland or southwest Ireland. The catch is honest: this is holiday golf with views and wind rather than championship length, and the region's clubs price accordingly.

How to spend less, step by step
- Travel in the shoulders. April to June and September to October pair the mid season fee bands with the coast at its best; November to March drops Pleneuf Val Andre to around 43 euros and leaves the tee sheets to you, with the Gulf Stream keeping the courses open and mild.
- Take the ferry if you are coming from the UK. Brittany Ferries lands at Saint-Malo, an hour or less from every course on this page, and bringing your own clubs and car deletes the two costs that quietly inflate a flying golf trip.
- Book twilight and weekday times. Like most French clubs, the Brittany courses price weekends and holiday mornings highest; a 14:00 weekday time in June is the same course for less.
- Cluster the Emerald Coast. Dinard, Saint-Cast and Pleneuf Val Andre sit on one 45 minute coast road, so one base, Dinard town or Saint-Cast, covers three courses with no hotel changes.
- Ask about cards and passes. Bluegreen's network cards and the regional discount schemes cut posted rates meaningfully for multi round visits; the math favors anyone playing four or more rounds.
What the money buys, and where to stay
The honest pitch: Brittany golf is atmosphere per euro. Dinard gives you a Victorian era links where the British invented French seaside golf, Pleneuf hangs its most famous holes over a working fishing bay, and Saint-Cast plays through dunes that smell of salt and pine. None of it stretches past 6,000 meters and all of it blows hard enough to matter. Base in Dinard itself for the belle epoque villas and the ten minute run to the course, or in Saint-Malo for the walled city and the ferry, with hotels along the Emerald Coast a fraction of high season Cornwall or Kerry rates.
Golfers wanting France's bigger tests should weigh the trip against our rankings of the best golf courses in France, where the championship weight sits around Paris and the southwest, or roll Brittany into a wider France golf holiday. And if the south of France calls instead, the 5 day French Riviera itinerary is the sun and glamour counterpart to this coast's wind and value.

Brittany green fee questions
How much are green fees in Brittany?
Budget roughly 35 to 100 euros for 18 holes in 2026, which makes Brittany one of the best value coastal golf regions in northern Europe. The historic flagship, Dinard, runs about 70 to 100 euros by season; Pleneuf Val Andre climbs from around 43 euros in low season to the mid 70s in summer; Saint-Cast starts around 35 euros; and Saint-Malo's standard rate has been published at 59 euros. All fees are indicative and move by season, so always confirm directly before booking.
What is the oldest golf course in Brittany?
Dinard Golf at Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, open since 1887 and the second oldest 18 hole course in France. It was founded by British army officers and their families who had settled on the Emerald Coast, and it still plays as a compact clifftop links of 5,313 meters, par 68, where the sea is in view on most holes and the wind sets the day's difficulty.
When is the cheapest time to play golf in Brittany?
November to March is the deep value window, when courses like Pleneuf Val Andre drop to their low season bands around 43 euros and tee sheets are nearly empty; the Gulf Stream keeps the coast mild and most courses open all year. April to June and September to October are the sweet spot of price and conditions. July and August carry the top rates and the holiday crowds, though even peak Brittany undercuts high season Ireland or England comfortably.
Is Brittany good for a golf trip?
Yes, especially as a value alternative to the Channel's more famous coasts. The Emerald Coast cluster around Dinard, Saint-Cast and Pleneuf Val Andre packs three scenic seaside courses into 45 minutes of coast road, the ferry ports at Saint-Malo and Roscoff make it the easiest golf in France to reach from the UK by car, and the food, oysters, crepes, cider, is half the argument. It is a holiday golf destination rather than a championship pilgrimage, and at these prices that is exactly the point.
