WHERE ELEGANCE SWINGS THROUGH ROLLING GREENS

France golf vacations are on the bucket list for many lovers of golf, for good reason. While Great Britain and Ireland get the headlines for golf across the pond, France is an excellent destination for not only championship golf but the ‘joie de vivre’ that makes golf in France a fulfilling experience. Since the dawn of golf in France, the country has produced quality golfers and outstanding championship courses.

The country also boasts the oldest course in Continental Europe, Le Pau, which opened in 1856. A fixture on the DP World Tour since its inception in 1972, it culminated with the 2018 Ryder Cup Matches at Le Golf National outside Paris, France.

Why Book a Golf Package in France?

Amazing cuisine, classical and modern culture, and outstanding golf courses. France is a complete package for any kind of golf vacation, whether an easy-going family trip or a more serious excursion. France has earned its reputation as one of the top golfing destinations in Europe, with offerings to suit any taste and budget.

Culture, Cuisine, and Outdoor Appeal of France

France has long enchanted visitors with its fairy tale castles, fantastic food, alongside its culture and natural beauty. The south of France enjoys a mild, sunnier climate, and the north is home to spectacular countryside as well as the Atlantic coast. It’s possible to spend a morning surrounded by sunny pine forest in the South and then in the evening enjoying a stroll along the Atlantic coast.

France’s world-beating cuisine and laid-back style are sure to add a little “joie de vivre” to any golf trip. For example, you can head to Paris and play at the iconic Ryder Cup venue Le Golf National, and then sample some of the wine in Bordeaux or savour some classic French food in the capital’s brasseries and bistros. 

France is a paradise for nature lovers. Top courses like the Golf du Médoc, near Bordeaux, are surrounded by protected woodlands and tranquil lakes where wildlife thrives in abundance. A golf package to France is an opportunity to experience that classical French slow down of life, and enjoy fine food, culture, and some golfing experiences par excellence.

Top Things to Do Near France’s Best Golf Courses

France has plenty to do and see in both the North, South, and all the provinces and regions in between. In general, you’ll find nature trails, wine tasting, and restaurants wherever you look, but if you’re looking for that perfect golf package holiday, there are a few standout options. 

The sun-drenched Riviera surrounding Cannes-Mougins and Old Course de Cannes–Mandelieu offers plenty of glamorous, arty experiences as well as some Mediterranean charm. Just a short drive from the courses, you can visit the village of Mougins, full of art galleries, or, at the right time of year, visit the Cannes film festival.

Further north, Brittany offers some delightful coastal venues such as Golf d’Hardelot, Dinard Golf, Golf du Touquet‑Paris‑Plage, and Golf de Granville. This northern stretch of coast heads towards the legendary resort town of Le Touquet, which is home to sandy beaches, Art Deco architecture, and an exciting casino. France is full of art, culture, historic castles, towns, and a huge array of nightlife experiences such as clubs and live music events. No matter what you’re looking for, France has got it.

Les Sources de Cheverny

Best accommodation for golf in France

If you’re planning a golf trip to the Loire Valley, Les Sources de Cheverny is the perfect place to stay. Surrounded by vineyards and forests, this luxury retreat combines refined French hospitality with easy access to some of the region’s best courses, including Golf du Château de Cheverny just minutes away. After a day on the fairways, unwind at the Caudalie Spa, enjoy Michelin-starred dining at Le Favori, or simply relax in the serene château setting.

“Book tee times well in advance, especially at prestigious venues like Le Golf National (home of the 2018 Ryder Cup), and consider mixing marquee courses with hidden gems for a more authentic experience. Finally, don’t rush. The French approach to both golf and life values quality over speed, so savor each round as part of the journey.”
