The most beautiful
golf courses in France

Golf National

Le Golf National is the most prestigious course in France — home to the French Open since 1991, it also hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup, one of the most-watched sporting events in the world. The Albatros course, designed by Hubert Chesneau and Robert Von Hagge, is renowned for its exceptional difficulty: its omnipresent water hazards, fast greens, and deep bunkers make it one of the most formidable challenges in Europe.

Located 30 kilometers from Paris, it is accessible from the capital in one hour. Professionals on the European circuit regularly rank it among the most technical and spectacular courses on the circuit.

Terre Blanche Golf Course

Terre Blanche is France's most luxurious golf resort—a 300-hectare estate in the Var hinterland, 45 minutes from Cannes and Nice. Two 18-hole courses designed by Dave Thomas, named Château and Riou, offer spectacular views of the Esterel hills and the Mediterranean Sea. The 5-star hotel, 2,500 m² spa, and gourmet restaurants make it a complete destination.

Terre Blanche regularly features in European rankings of the best golf resorts. Its international clientele comes from all over the world to combine top-level golf with a stay in Provence.

Golf Barrière de Deauville

Founded in the early 1930s and designed by architects Tom Simpson and Henry Cotton, the Golf Barrière de Deauville is one of the most historic and elegant courses in France. Its fairways lined with centuries-old beech trees, its verdant Norman setting, and its distinguished atmosphere make it a must-visit for golfers staying on the Côte Fleurie. It is ranked among the top 100 golf resorts in Europe.

Chamonix Golf Club

The Chamonix Golf Club is one of the most beautiful high-altitude golf courses in Europe—its greens stretch out at the foot of Mont Blanc and the Aiguilles de Chamonix, in a truly unique high-mountain setting. Playing golf with a view of the roof of Europe is an experience few courses in the world can offer. The playing season is limited to the summer, which adds to the exclusivity of the experience.

Royal Mougins Golf Club

Founded in 1993 and designed by American architect Robert von Hagge, the Royal Mougins Golf Club is one of the most prestigious golf courses in the South of France. Its 18-hole course unfolds within a Mediterranean setting of pine and olive groves, offering views of the sea and the hills of the hinterland. Located just minutes from Cannes, it welcomes a discerning international clientele year-round.

Pont Royal International Golf Course

The only golf course in France designed by Severiano Ballesteros, the Golf International de Pont Royal is nestled in a Provençal landscape of garrigue and pine forests. Its technical fairways and pronounced elevation changes offer a first-rate tactical challenge in an exceptional natural setting, near the Luberon and the Alpilles mountains. The estate also includes a hotel and prestigious villas.

Sperone Golf Course

Sperone Golf Course, located at the southern tip of Corsica facing Sardinia, is regularly cited as one of the most beautiful courses in Europe. Its fairways overlook the Mediterranean, offering breathtaking views of the white limestone cliffs of Bonifacio and the turquoise waters of the Strait of Gibraltar. The ever-present wind makes it a tactically demanding course for top-level players.

Evian Resort Golf

The Evian Resort golf course is one of the few French courses to host a women's major—the Evian Championship, the fifth major on the LPGA Tour. Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, facing the Swiss Alps, its setting is among the most spectacular in France. The 18-hole course was completely redesigned by Kyle Phillips in 2010 to meet the requirements of the international women's professional tour.
