Golf de Touraine is located just outside Tours in the Loire Valley, offering a well-established parkland layout in a convenient setting. Designed by Fred Hawtree and opened in 1973, this 18-hole course is relatively short by modern standards but provides a technical test.

Tree-lined fairways, water hazards and well-placed bunkers place an emphasis on accuracy from the tee, while the small, quick greens require a controlled approach. The layout is flat and easily walkable, making it accessible while still demanding careful course management. For those planning a golf break in France, Touraine offers a balanced and enjoyable round close to the region’s châteaux.
