Golf: Course and Lessons
Domaine des Forges Golf Club is a 27-hole golf course in Deux-Sèvres, suitable for both beginners and experienced players. The club offers private lessons, group lessons and golf clinics. When planning, it is useful to distinguish between suitability and lesson format: the suitability information identifies two experience levels, while the offerings include three learning formats.

The club covers 110 hectares. This area figure adds a different measure to the 27-hole figure: it describes the size of the grounds, while the number of holes identifies the golf course format. This lets you consider the size of the grounds and the course format separately when planning.
The Château’s History and the Name
The present-day Château des Forges was built in 1883. The château’s history traces the name “Forges” to iron deposits that were mined from the 12th century onward. The early mention of the place is a separate matter: the Ménigoute parish registers record a settlement named “Forges” in 1164. These dates relate to different contexts—a register entry, the mining of iron deposits and the construction of the present-day château. Keeping them distinct helps put the early mention in context without equating it with the later construction of the château.
