Golfing Breaks

La Maison des Grands Bambous is fortunate to be situated in an area where there are six golf courses within an hour's drive.  For the really keen, Poitiers also boasts two courses but these are about 80-90 minutes away.  We are currently trying to arrange discounts on green fees for groups of four players or more, who come to play as a 'club'.

We would like to offer flexible breaks between September and May as follows:

Mid Week Breaks - Monday to Friday
Weekend Breaks - Friday to Monday

However, more flexibility can be accommodated between October and April, when it is less hectic and cooler.  Please note that, currently, Ryanair do not fly to La Rochelle on a Thursday, in the winter months.
