Le Pas Opton Golf Week
10-17 September 2012
Some friends of Le Pas Opton, including PGA Pro Jim Long, are organising a golf week, consisting of friendly play and competitions for golfers with or without a handicap.
Come and discover an excellent golfing experience in Western France for a great holiday of fairways, fine dining and fellowship.
Each day there will be a separate competition open to men & women golfers with or without a handicap. You can decide which days you play and all you need to pay are your green fees. We ask all golfers to please donate a prize. Prize giving will be at the golf club following the day’s play.
No other setting gives you the opportunity for spiritual refreshment plus a challenging round of golf each day.

The Courses
The Vendée contains some of golf’s hidden gems - offering uncrowded greens and welcoming clubhouses. A combination of golden coastlines and scenic woodland make this area of Western France the perfect setting for a round of 18.
Les Fontenelles
6200 metres Par 72 www.formule-golf.com
North of Les Sables d’Olonne, this modern course heads through undulating countryside lined with oak trees and maritime pines, past stretches of water which enhance the layout. The course is suitable for players of mixed abilities as it’s free of hidden traps and allows you to concentrate on low scoring rather than threading the needle.
St Jean de Monts
6000 metres Par 72 www.golfsaintjeandemonts.fr
Often described as one of the best courses in Western France, this seaside course offers a game of two halves. The outward nine skirts the lake then meanders through pine forests back to the clubhouse. The back nine threads its way alongside the ocean through classic links terrain – a challenge for any golfer.
