Golf Stays in Niort Near the Golf Club
Niort, capital of the Deux-Sèvres, is a calm town on the Sèvre Niortaise with an 18-hole course, the Niort Golf Club, just outside the centre, and the green canals of the Marais Poitevin a short drive west. One property is listed on this page, and it is not a golf hotel. Appartements d'hôtes Santa Giulia, rated 8.8 from about 450 reviews, offers self-catering apartments in an old house, a kilometre from the station and about four kilometres from the golf club. It suits golfers who want a quiet, characterful base and the freedom to cook.
Niort is a provincial town of Plantagenet stone and riverside gardens, known for its twin-towered Donjon, its covered market, candied angelica and its position at the gateway to the Marais Poitevin, the canal-laced Venise Verte.

Where to stay
Apartments Four Kilometres From the Tee
Golf in Niort is a relaxed affair: one club close to town, flat surroundings and easy access to the marsh for rest days. An apartment with a garden and lounge makes a comfortable base for a few days of golf, and its central position keeps the old town and its restaurants within reach after a round.
Appartements d'hôtes Santa Giulia is the only stay listed under golf in Niort, and it is fair to be clear that it has no course of its own. What it offers is a pleasant base: self-catering apartments in an old house, each individually decorated, with a private bathroom, free WiFi and cable TV, and kitchenettes in some units. Guests share a garden and a lounge, which give the place a guesthouse feel. Its score of 8.8 from about 450 reviews is strong and reliable. The Niort Golf Club is about four kilometres away, a short drive, so you can be on the first tee within minutes of breakfast.
The location is practical for golfers arriving by train. Santa Giulia is about a kilometre from Niort station, where TGV services arrive from Paris, so you can travel without a car for a city break and take a taxi to the golf club with your clubs. For anyone driving, the course is easy to reach from the house, and the flat country around Niort makes the short transfer quick. Because some units have a kitchenette, it suits golfers staying several days who prefer to prepare their own breakfast and lunch. Check which apartments include cooking facilities when booking, as not all do.
Between rounds, the Marais Poitevin is the natural rest-day outing. Coulon, about 10 km west, is the main village for boat trips on the green canals, where flat-bottomed boats glide under tunnels of trees, and cycle paths follow the towpaths between villages. Back in Niort, the shared garden at Santa Giulia is a quiet place to rest in the evening. If you plan to play other courses, La Rochelle and the Atlantic coast are about an hour west by car, which makes Niort a calm, affordable base for a short golfing tour of the region in spring or autumn.
Niort's old town is compact and walkable. The Donjon, a rare Plantagenet keep with two square towers, houses a museum by the river, and the 19th-century covered market of Les Halles is busiest on market mornings, when stalls sell local cheese, oysters from the nearby coast and candied angelica, the town's speciality. The Pilori, a former town hall with Renaissance details, hosts exhibitions, and the riverside gardens along the Sèvre are pleasant for an evening stroll. Restaurants around Place de la Brèche make dinner easy after a day on the course or on the marsh.
A traveler's take
For a golf stay in Niort, I would book Appartements d'hôtes Santa Giulia: it scores 8.8 from about 450 reviews, offers characterful apartments in an old house with a shared garden, and sits about four kilometres from the Niort Golf Club and a kilometre from the station. I would ask for a unit with a kitchenette and keep a rest day for a boat trip in the Marais Poitevin.
