Open de Bretagne returns to Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf val André

The Open de Bretagne at Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf Val André is one of three French events to be held on the Road to Mallorca International Schedule in June.

It will be the 14th staging of the event, which will take place from June 24-27, 2021, and the second of back-to-back trips to France following the Hauts de France – Pas de Calais Golf Open the week prior.

The event has become a firm favourite among Challenge Tour players with high temperatures and spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean from Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf Val Andre.

Located in the Brittany region of France on the picturesque western coastline, the golf course offers stunning views and is one of the most aesthetically pleasing tracks on the Road to Mallorca.

There are several scenic holes but the stand-out is arguably the 523-yard par five 11th hole. From an elevated tee deck, and with the prevailing wind coming in off the coast, players must start their tee shot somewhat towards the beach in order to find the fairway and have a chance of birdie by reaching the green in under regulation.

Past winners of the event include the reigning champion Sebastian Heisele, 2018 graduate Jack Singh Brar and 2012 winner Eddie Pepperell, who was famously unable to pay his hotel bill before triumphing in Brittany.
