Golf in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur – a dream destination for golfers between lavender, sea and mountains
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA for short) is much more than just a picture-postcard motif with lavender fields and azure blue coastline – for golfers, this region in south-eastern France is a true paradise. Between the Mediterranean Sea, the foothills of the Alps and picturesque villages, this golf destination offers perfect conditions: varied courses, a climate that allows for year-round play and a unique backdrop. Those who spend their golf holiday here will not only enjoy a range of sporting activities, but also culinary, cultural and scenic delights.
Golf courses in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur – diversity at the highest level
What sets the PACA golf region apart is the enormous density and diversity of golf courses – a total of more than 60 courses spread across six départements from the coast to the hinterland.
1. Côte d’Azur – golfing with a sea breeze
One top course follows another along the azure coast. Particularly popular:
Golf de Terre Blanche (near Cannes): two 18-hole championship courses (Le Château & Le Riou) of the highest international standard. Perfect maintenance, spectacular scenery and a luxurious resort make Terre Blanche one of the best golf destinations in Europe.
Royal Mougins Golf Club: Technically challenging course in an exclusive setting. Perfect for ambitious golfers.
Golf de Cannes-Mougins: Traditional course with lots of character – former venue of the Cannes Open.
Golf de Saint-Endréol: Located halfway between Nice and Aix-en-Provence. Dramatic elevation changes, water hazards and panoramic views of the mountains – a real insider tip!
2. Provence – golfing among lavender and olive trees
The hinterland is a little quieter, but no less charming:
Golf International de Pont Royal (near Aix-en-Provence): a course designed by Seve Ballesteros that requires strategic play and precise course management.
Golf Sainte Baume (near Brignoles): Harmoniously nestled in the nature of the regional nature park. Technically challenging and scenically beautiful.
Golf de Servanes (near Les Baux-de-Provence): A real natural course in the foothills of the Alpilles with rocky scenery, olive trees and singing cicadas.
3. Alpine region – high alpine views at the tee
In the higher elevations around Gap and Barcelonnette, fantastic golf courses with fresh mountain air and panoramic views offer the perfect way to cool off in summer.
Climate & travel season – golf all year round with guaranteed sunshine
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur is one of the sunniest regions in Europe. This makes it a year-round golf destination. Summers are hot, but the sea or high altitude usually make for pleasant playing conditions. Spring and autumn are considered the best times to visit – pleasantly mild, little wind, perfect fairways. Even in winter, you can easily play golf on the coast.
Golf holidays with pleasure – more than just teeing off
What makes PACA particularly attractive as a golf destination is the overall package:
Cuisine: Provençal cuisine with fresh herbs, olive oil, fish, truffles and excellent wines.
Accommodation: From charming country estates and boutique hotels to 5-star resorts with their own golf courses.
Experiences: Lavender blossoms in summer, wine tastings in the Rhône region, Mediterranean markets, art and culture in Avignon, Aix-en-Provence or Marseille.
Conclusion: Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur as a golf destination – variety, class and plenty of sunshine
Whether you are ambitious or enjoy a more relaxed pace, every golfer will find their place in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. From a glamorous golf holiday on the Côte d’Azur to a game close to nature in rural Provence or the foothills of the Alps: this region is perfect for golfers who are looking for more than just the next birdie – namely the perfect combination of golf, enjoyment and the French way of life.
