1 round at Golf Club du Champ de Bataille (Golf Club du Champ de Bataille) Located 28km north west of Evreux, within the estate of the Chateau du Champ de Bataille, this 6,600 yard par 72 layout is not on the short side. The course is delightfully carved out of mature trees with the occasional strategically placed water hazard and is renowned for being in good condition with excellent greens and fairways. One of the most beautiful and difficult courses Normandy has to offer, it becomes filled with blooming rhododendrons in late spring and is a truly wonderful sight.
This is supposed to be one of the best in the
Normandy area, its on the journey on the way back to Calais - apprx 1.5hrs,
half way in between Deauville and Calais) - this gives us time to get there and
afterwards we're half way back to Calais.
