Normandy boasts some of the best golf courses in Europe and La Chardiere is within easy reach of many of them. Just a five minute drive away is Golf de Vire la Dathee, a 9 hole lakeside couse complete with practice area and bar with outside seating area giving wonderful views of the lake. The course is being enlarged to an 18 hole course due to open in 2008 but the work is not effecting play.

This 18 hole course can be found on the border of Calvados and Orne. The course has a driving range and club house and prices range from 19 to 42 euros (depending on time of play and season. More details can be found on the website, which can be found on the course locator facility of fairwaybreaks.com) Other courses are close by, including the Golf Centre Manche, a 9 hole close to St Lo, which is approximately 70kms away and the course at Bagnoles de l'Orne, a beautiful spa town which was a favourite holiday destination of wealthy Parisians and still retains much of its charm.
