The No.1 Golf Resort in France
Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort***** is the No.1 Golf Resort in France, nestled in the sun-drenched hills of Provence.
The golfing experience is exceptional, with 36 championship holes and Europe's best performance centre blending in with an unspoilt landscape of pine trees, vineyards and olive groves.
It is the first and only Troon Privé-affiliated property in France, connected to 145 other private golf clubs around the world.
Off the course, a five-star hotel awaits, complemented by a world-class spa and a Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Faventia.
Just 45 minutes from Nice Airport and a stone's throw from the Côte d'Azur, it is an idyllic escape for discerning golfers and their families.
Golf Courses
Two internationally-renowned 18-hole championship courses
Le Château
An iconic course in a pristine natural setting
Carefully routed around the natural contours of the Provence hills, this Dave Thomas-designed gem is one of France's finest championship courses.
Stretching more than 7,200 yards from the back tees, Le Château stands out for its vast rolling landscapes and spectacular water features.
It is a joy for the senses, with every shot accompanied by stunning views, the scent of pines and the sound of cicadas.
Broad fairways encourage confident driving, while intelligently placed bunkers, water hazards and subtly contoured greens demand precision and thoughtful course management.
Host of the French Riviera Masters on the PGA Senior Tour (now the Legends Tour) from 2012 to 2015, its name pays homage to Château Bouge, which can be seen from several holes on the course.
Le Riou
Spectacular panoramas at every turn
Set high in the hills above the resort, Le Riou is shorter than Le Château (6,500 from the back tees) but no less challenging, and benefits from the same immaculate conditioning.
Reserved exclusively for members and hotel guests, it is a wonderful test for golfers of all abilities, with tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens requiring thoughtful shot-making.
The par-4 sixth hole is a sight to behold, and the signature par-5 18th, with a fairway flanked by cascading water, will make you want to carry on playing.
Also designed by the acclaimed architect Dave Thomas, Le Riou has hosted the Terre Blanche Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour Access Series since 2010.
Green fees, golf lessons & golf breaks
Terre Blanche has a range of exceptional offers, whether you are seeking a stay-and-play package, a green fee, a driving range session + lunch or a comprehensive lesson under the guidance of the resort's expert professionals.

Beyond Golf
Relax, restore and revive
Terre Blanche Spa
No visit to Terre Blanche is complete without sampling the calming, restorative spa.
The path to it winds through unspoilt vegetation, with rosemary, lavender and myrtle awakening the senses before you even step through the door.
Once inside, the ochre-inspired interior immediately stills the mind, promoting relaxation before a treatment from the full wellness programme created by in-house expert practitioners.
The naturopathic and holistic therapies are complemented by a state-of-the-art 100sqm gym, more than 30 fitness classes per week, yoga and guided meditation as well as tailored personal training.
Beyond the resort
The countryside surrounding Terre Blanche is a playground for anyone who loves exploring the outdoors under their own power.
The quiet roads are ideal for cycling, threading between vineyards and medieval hilltop villages. For keen mountain bikers, there are miles of forested tracks climbing through scented pine forests and along rocky ridges, with spectacular views as the reward.
Hikers are spoilt for choice, too, from short local loops to the towering cliffs and hidden canyons of Verdon Gorge, a short drive away.
Watersports enthusiasts will love the wild swimming, rowing, paddleboarding and kayaking at nearby Lac Saint-Cassien, while some of the world's finest sailing awaits on the Riviera Coast, just 40 minutes away by car.

Sustainability
Leaders in environmental stewardship
One of the world's most sustainable golf resorts
Environmental conservation and biodiversity is at the heart of Terre Blanche - and has been since day one.
Its commitment to sustainable practices has been recognised with the following respected statuses:
- GEO Certified by GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf
- Clef Verte (Green Key) - one of the the sought-after sustainable tourism labels bestowed on hotels, restaurants and other hospitality establishments by the French government

The resort ensures a harmonious balance between golf, nature and tourism with initiatives that include:

- Dedicated multi-year programmes to promote biodiversity on the golf courses and provide safe habitats for birds, butterflies and small mammals. These are carefully monitored every year
