The Châteaux course was voted Best Golf Course in France in 2014 by the World Golf Awards. It adheres to the purest tradition of the Scottish ‘links’. The wide fairways bordered by heathers, gorses and brooms carry the players through unspoiled nature.
The quality of the greens, the effect of ocean winds and the technical richnessof the course design make this championship course a golfing challenge of the highest order.

History
The European Amateur Championship, established in 1986, is a prestigious annual 4-round stroke play event for elite male amateur golfers, held at various European venues each June. Attracting top global talent, it is highly regarded by the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

In 2023, it served as a final qualifier for the inaugural Open Amateur Series. José Luis Ballester won the 2023 championship with a record 21-under-par, becoming the first Spanish champion since Sergio Garcia in 1995.
Notable Medalists include Rory McIlroy (winner 2006), Matti Schmid (winner 2019, 2020), Nicolai Hojgaard (winner 2018), Sergio Garcia (winner 1995), Stephen Gallacher (winner 1994), Victor Dubuisson (winner 2009), José Luis Ballester (winner 2023), Ludvig Åberg (runner-up 2021), Viktor Hovland (runner-up 2016, 2018), Lee Westwood (runner-up 1993), Tommy Fleetwood (3rd place 2010), and Danny Willett (3rd place 2007).
