Set in the rolling Normandy countryside, Hôtel Barrière L'Hôtel du Golf Deauville is a classic stay-and-play option for UK golfers who want plenty of golf with minimal faff. Golf Barrière Deauville has 27 holes across the Diane Barrière and Lucien Barrière courses, regularly talked about among the best in France, with the hotel sitting right at the heart of the complex and delivering unparalleled on resort comfort.
The big win here is convenience. You're around three hours from Calais or a ferry ride from Portsmouth, and once you arrive, everything's on-site. Get breakfast in, head out for 18 (or go again and make it 27), then swap the spikes for the pool, sauna or a post-round massage.
It also works well for mixed groups. Non-golfers have the outdoor pool, tennis courts, cycling routes and Deauville's seafront nearby, plus the Casino Barrière for an evening out.
Who is this for? Golfers who want a high-quality French resort with 27 holes on the doorstep and proper off-course facilities.
Who is it best for? UK groups and societies planning a weekend or short break, couples who want golf plus relaxation and anyone who likes playing multiple rounds without travelling between courses.
