Experience Premier Golf in France Vacations.

France boasts over 600 courses, and the variety is staggering. You can find every style of golf in France, often designed by the world's most renowned architects.

  • True Links: Head to the Opal Coast in the north. Courses like Le Touquet (La Mer course) and Hardelot (Les Pins course) are classic, windswept links designs by the great Harry Colt and Tom Simpson that feel like they were plucked straight from the British Isles.

  • Championship Parkland: France is home to some of Europe's most majestic parkland courses. Golf de Morfontaine is consistently ranked the #1 course in Continental Europe (though it's highly private). Golf de Chantilly, set in a historic forest next to a grand château, is another masterpiece.

  • Modern Stadium Golf: France proved its mettle on the world stage by hosting the 2018 Ryder Cup. Le Golf National (Albatros Course) outside Paris is an American-style stadium course with a dramatic, water-filled finish that is one of the toughest and most thrilling tests in Europe. You can go and try to replicate the heroics you saw on TV.

  • Luxury Resorts: The South of France offers pure luxury. Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort in Provence is a 36-hole European Tour destination that is consistently ranked among the best resorts on the continent. Down on the Côte d'Azur, courses like Royal Mougins Golf Resort put you right in the heart of the glamorous French Riviera.

The "Art de Vivre" (The Art of Living) Paired with Golf

This is the single biggest reason to choose France. A golf trip here isn't just about chasing a little white ball; it's a complete cultural immersion.

  • Gastronomy: The "19th hole" experience in France is on another level. Imagine finishing a round at Golf du Médoc near Bordeaux and then spending the afternoon touring the vineyards of Margaux or Saint-Émilion. Picture playing a classic course near Paris and having dinner at a bistro that has been perfecting its recipes for a century. The focus on quality food and wine is part of the national identity, and it elevates every part of your trip.

  • Culture & Scenery: You aren't just driving through generic countryside to get to the course. You're driving past 15th-century châteaux, fields of lavender in Provence, and historic WWII sites in Normandy. The golf is played within a stunning historical and cultural tapestry.
