An excellent modern clubhouse, spacious and airy with a large restaurant and terrace facing the course and with superb food. All normal golf facilities are available except accommodation but the club has links with local hotels. This is a very hilly and sometimes exhausting course (buggy recommended) but Robert Trent Jones Jr has achieved the virtually impossible by avoiding blind shots. In contrast, there was no other way around three or four rather ordinary holes in an otherwise excellent setting, which makes for exciting golf. This sometimes spectacular course does not give up its secrets easily and deserves a number of rounds, if only to come to grips with the greens. In virtually mountainous lanscape, oak-trees, beech and gorse add a touch of vegetation to the countoured fairways and numerous bunkers. But however beautiful the scenery, the skill required to play Bresson is perhaps beyond the abilities of high-handicappers. The course requires tightly-mowen fairways and very careful upkeep, which is not always the case at the present time.
