Carhaix-Golf Unveils Nine-Hole Course: A Major Milestone for Central Brittany Golf
After two successful decades, Carhaix-Golf has finalmente fulfilled a long-standing dream: the creation of a nine-hole course on its 19-hectare site. The course’s inauguration on May 16, 2025, marked a significant turning point for this prestigious club, as it now accommodates regional and even higher-level competitions.
The new course, designed by renowned architect Mark Adam, stretches across 1,630 meters, offering a true test of skill for golfers of all levels. With 140 current members aged from 7 to over 90, Carhaix-Golf aims to double its membership in the coming years.
New Course, New Opportunities
This development isn’t just about improved facilities; it reflects the club’s ambition to grow and engage with the local community. Benjamin Séité, the new director and golf professional, shares, “The more members we have, the more we can invest in improving our equipment, developing our courses, and enhancing our clubhouse surroundings.”
Golf for Everyone
Staying true to its inclusive spirit, Carhaix-Golf is offering free initiation sessions on Saturday, May 17, 2025, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is a fantastic opportunity for those new to the sport to learn from qualified professionals in a fun and engaging environment.
From humble beginnings in 2005, Carhaix-Golf has grown from a compact eight-hole course with eight members to become a prominent feature of Breton golfing landscape. Founders Claude Prigent and Maryse Le Goff-Prigent’s vision was to bring this sport to the heart of Brittany, away from coastal regions and major cities.
Commitment to Sustainability
Carhaix-Golf has been championing a zero-phyto policy since 2017, focusing on environmentally responsible maintenance. With the recent introduction of the Labbé law, the club is committed to further adapting its practices to meet stringent environmental standards.
