Spring
Spring at Deauville is, for the golfer, a season of rediscovery. From April to June, Golf Barrière and New Golf courses regain their fast greens, temperatures are ideal (12 to 20°C), and the resort's Belle Époque atmosphere unfurls without summer crowds. The Tom Simpson layout (1929) at Barrière remains one of France's most beautiful seaside courses. May and June offer the perfect equation: optimal technical conditions, racecourse beginning its season, terraces opening. Norman Rivage villas offer their best year-round rates.
Summer
Summer at Deauville combines golf and high-level Norman art de vivre. From June to August, courses are at full activity — bookings essential. Temperatures stay comfortable (20-25°C), often cooler than Aquitaine. High season sees the Parisian jet set arrive, the racecourse hosts summer races, Les Planches come alive. Late August, the American Film Festival adds a unique cultural dimension. For those booking a Rivage villa nearby, it's the chance to chain golf, races, beaches and evenings in Normandy's most chic town.
Autumn
Autumn anoints Deauville as one of Normandy's most beautiful golf destinations. From September to October, conditions are near-ideal: mild temperatures (15-20°C), courses in autumnal splendour, thinning crowds after the festival. September extends summer in a regained mood, October offers splendid Norman colours — apple trees in fruit, ciders, calvados, autumnal gastronomy. Norman Rivage villas with fireplaces offer a unique intimacy this season.
Winter
Winter at Deauville isn't the golf season: frequent rain, 5-8°C, short days, often frozen courses. The resort empties as Norman locals reclaim the territory. It is, however, an ideal season to combine Norman gastronomy (oysters, Auge cheeses, ciders), thalassotherapy, and cultural day trips (Honfleur, Bayeux 1h, Étretat 90 min). Rivage villas with fireplaces offer a unique intimacy.
