Fabulous French Golfing: European Tour Destinations
Venture to Le Golf National or try Terre Blanche resort and explore all that French golfing has to offer.
The fact that professionals from all over the world seek to test themselves on the European Tour and compete for glory is testament not only to the prestige of the competition, but also to the outstanding resorts that make up the European Tour network. Today’s post will focus on the best resorts that our friends across the channel in France have to offer.
A French Triumph
France is a favourite amongst the pros and two resorts in particular stand out as nothing short of world class when it comes to quality. Le Golf National just outside Paris is a stellar golfing holiday spot and the beautiful surroundings and warmth of the south of France (as well as the impeccable courses at the resort) make Terre Blanche another dream destination.
Le Golf National, Paris
Just 20 miles west of the French capital, Le Golf National is consistently ranked in the World’s Top 100 Courses and Europe’s Top 100 by Golf World Magazine. The venue boasts 3 courses totalling 45 holes. The ‘Albatross’ was a feature of the 2018 Ryder Cup and more recently the resort hosted the 2019 French Open.
Such was the success of these competitions that Le Golf National is now due to host the 2021 European Amateurs Championship, 2022 Eisenhower Trophy and the 2024 Olympic Games.
Having maintained such a glowing record of successful tournament hosting, it is no surprise that this venue is a national gem: with 2 world class courses, extensive practice facilities and a luxurious hotel and restaurant, it’s easy to see why.

In the exquisite setting of Côte d'Azur in the south of France, Terre Blanche has something for everyone with Michelin starred dining, a luxurious spa and of course amazing sports facilities. The Hotel is five-star and offers luxurious villas and suites.
The two internationally renowned courses, Le Château and Le Riou, were designed by architect Dave Thomas and are skilfully integrated into the natural features of the land, taking inspiration from valleys, lakes, ravines, waterfalls and forests. The overall effect is a stunning and aesthetically pleasing resort where novices can try themselves out and intermediate players can still enjoy a stern challenge.
