The 18-hole layout of first choice at l’Hôtel Barrière de Deauville comprises the Rouge and Blanc nines, with the 9-hole Bleu as an additional playing option. Tom Simpson set out the fairways for the original 27-hole complex on land owned by the Marquis de Lassay in 1929 and the club subsequently hosted the French Open here in 1931 and1956.
Aerial photos from just after the end of World War II show that there was only an 18-hole course in operation at that time but further overhead images from 1961 prove that a refurbished 27-hole layout was back in play before Henry Cotton was called in to carry out a course upgrade.
The modern day Deauville is a magnificent golf facility, comprising a mix of tree-lined and open parkland holes that are draped over beautiful, rolling terrain, with a recently renovated clubhouse – stylishly designed in a neo-Norman manner – situated in front of the imposing 250-bedroom hotel.
