Golfing in Provence – What you can expect as a golfer 1. Landscape and atmosphere – Golfing among lavender and cypress trees Golf in Provence means golf in a picture-postcard setting: rolling hills, vineyards, ancient pine forests, sweeping views of the Alps or the Mediterranean Sea. Many courses are harmoniously embedded in nature and surprise with architectural sophistication and tranquillity – without mass tourism or overcrowded fairways. 2. Selection of golf courses – quality over quantity Provence scores with a hand-picked selection of top golf courses that are challenging, varied and wonderfully maintained. Some highlights: Golf de Servanes: Located at the foot of the Alpilles, this course offers a spectacular interplay of rocks, pine trees and olive trees. Technically challenging, but also suitable for connoisseurs. Golf Sainte-Baume: A real gem in the midst of unspoilt nature. The course offers shady fairways, fast greens and a very relaxed atmosphere. Golf de Barbaroux: A wild, modern course with an American touch – designed by Pete & P.B. Dye. Those who love precision will be challenged and delighted here. Golf International de Pont Royal: The only course in France designed by Seve Ballesteros. Technically sophisticated and a scenic highlight. Golf de la Grande Bastide (near the Côte d’Azur): Combines Mediterranean lifestyle with sporting ambition – particularly attractive in spring and autumn. Best time for a golf trip to Provence The golf season in Provence begins in March and lasts until late November. The playing climate is particularly pleasant in spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October). It can get hot in midsummer, but early tee times and cooling off in the hotel pool or the Mediterranean Sea make July and August perfectly feasible for golf. Cuisine and lifestyle – the extra for golf enthusiasts After your round, Provence offers no crowded club restaurants, but wineries, bistro terraces and local markets. Those who value good food will find paradise here: truffle dishes, bouillabaisse, goat’s cheese, rosé wine – everything fresh, authentic and mostly direct from the producer. Add to that a café au lait in the village square – it doesn’t get much better than that. Accommodation for golf travellers – from wineries to 5-star resorts Many golf courses in Provence are associated with charming hotels or resorts. Particularly popular with golfers are: Domaine de Manville (near Les Baux-de-Provence): Luxury resort with its own 18-hole course and spa – ideal for couples and connoisseurs. Château de la Bégude (at Golf d’Opio Valbonne): Historic estate with modern comforts. Private villas and boutique hotels: Stylish accommodation in the surrounding villages is particularly worthwhile for groups or individualists.

The golf courses are varied, the landscape is picture-perfect, and the quality of life is in a league of its own.
