2 rounds at Esterel International Golf Course
In the middle of beautiful umbrella pine trees, Robert Trent Jones created a masterpiece of a championship golf course. Easy to walk, but technically challenging with narrow and bumpy fairways, numerous bunkers and water hazards, Esterel International Golf Course leaves a tasting impression. The 6th hole, a 140 yds par 3, is as impressive as mysterious since one has to carry the ball over a deep water hazard set 60 feet below, into which unfaithful women were thrown, according to the legend, in the former time.
1 round at Saint Endreol Golf Course
Saint Endreol is considered as one of the most spectacular golf courses of Southern France amid a splendid natural site.
The Roquebrune mountain, which dominates the site is set ablaze the setting sun, the river l'Endre meanders through century old parasol pines.
The 6800 yds course of impeccably maintained fairways is sculpt by the multiple facets of this seductive and varied landscape, creating the perfect experience for all level of play.
And the 13th hole, with its intimidating precipice and green set on the river l'Endre 90 feet below, is but the temptations and challenges awaiting golfers. An authentic signature hole.
1 round at Barbaroux Golf Course
220 acres for a course length of 6600 yds in a fabulous wooded landscape interspered with 6 extensive lakes and undulated fairways makes Barbaroux an outstanding and very demanding course, as his architect Pete Dye likes them. Iron shots will generally prevail to remain on narrow and bumpy fairways, and accuracy is required on the very large and shaped greens (30% larger than average) to reach the pin, especially on the 9th with its three level 90 yds length green.
1 round at Sainte Maxime Golf Course
Designed by English architect Don Harradine, Sainte Maxime International golf club offers some of the best views of the spectacular bay of Saint-Tropez, as you wend your way through the wild heather of Provence with its charming scent. Surrounded by sparkling sea, wild heather and forests of cork-oaks, Sainte Maxime’s 18 holes are generously spread over 150 acres of hilly land, offering superb views of the Côte d’Azur and the hinterland.
