Golf des 24 Heures (Le Mans)

Golf des 24 Heures (Le Mans) sits inside the famous racing circuit, running alongside the Hunaudières straight and the Mulsanne corner — a setting that ties golf and motorsport together as it has since the 1930s. British architect P. Pfenning designed the 18-hole layout through a forest of pine, birch, and acacia trees on sandy soil that stays playable year-round, even in mid-winter. At 5,742 metres, the course is relatively short, but narrow fairways demand accuracy off the tee. The small, firm greens reward precise approach play, and a good rolling approach shot is a genuine advantage here. Depending on the season, gorse, acacia blossom, or heather add colour throughout the round. Golf des 24 Heures is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Pays de la Loire.
