La Moye Golf Club

Jersey residents Ian Woosnam and Nigel Mansell are members at this impressive course which sits 250ft above sea level overlooking St Ouen’s Bay. It offers a serious links challenge and the wind is nearly always a factor. It was a regular European Tour venue with past winners including Woosie, Tony Jacklin and Bernard Gallacher.

Les Mielles G&CC

It’s literally down the road from La Moye but is a completely different test when playing golf: the opening nine holes are relatively straightforward but the inward stretch is more challenging with a collection of water hazards coming into play.
