“There is incredible potential”

The deed of sale was officially signed Thursday, April 3, 2025. Located along the N147 at the gates of Poitiers, the Golf of Mignaloux-Beauvoir, open since 1991, has just changed owners. André and Jacqueline Nicolay, head of the estate for fifteen years, have passed the hand to five Poitevin entrepreneurs. They are Jean-Marie Broquin and two siblings: Manuel and Aurélien Pétreau, François and Guillaume Colasson.

“Communicate differently and multiply the animations”

“We are not golfers”recognizes Manuel Pétreau, returning to this acquisition. “But we fell in love with the place by visiting it. »» Open seven days a week, this 92 ha site is distinguished by its flat and wooded course of eighteen holes, its academy, its clubhouse with reception window, shop and restaurant, but also by its golf simulator usable indoors and outdoors.

Despite these numerous assets, the Golf, a member of the Golfy network, suffers, according to its new managers grouped within a SAS, from an image of “Beautiful sleeping”. “Poitevins do not necessarily come here. It is however a rare, atypical space, which only asks to be known ”indicates Jean-Marie Broquin. Manuel Pétreau abounds in the same direction: “It’s a shame there are so few people, when there is an incredible potential. »»

To attract a wider and rejuvenated clientele, he and his associates hear “Communicate differently and multiply the animations”while maintaining the golf experience. New developments were thus made as a bowling alley and a tavern, installed near the practice (training ground) and open on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

“We also want to review our catering offer and develop the event part with seminars and weddings, but also a coworking offer, in order to be able to work and take advantage of the framework”continues Manuel Pétreau. It was not until 2026 and the rehabilitation of the clubhouse, carried out in connection with the interior architecture agency A2i in Poitiers.
