Ah, the joys of putting in Loire castle country! Touraine has five golf courses for experienced players: three 18-hole courses and two 9-hole courses.

For beginners, or for those who want to get in some quick practice!

Ready to take the plunge with your first golf experience? Not enough time for your weekly golf game? Two "pitch and putt" style golf courses are available in Touraine.
