Tourrettes, Var, Provence, France
Terre Blanche – Le Château
Set among the lavender hills of Provence, Terre Blanche is France's finest resort golf destination — two championship courses, a five-star hotel, and sweeping views across the Var countryside to the Mediterranean.
About the Course
Terre Blanche – Le Château
Terre Blanche is the finest resort golf destination in France — a five-star hotel and spa set among 750 acres of Provençal countryside in the Var hills, with two championship courses designed by Dave Thomas and panoramic views across the hills to the Mediterranean coast.
The flagship Le Château course plays to 6,800 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the dramatic Provençal terrain, the natural rock outcrops, the olive groves, and Thomas's masterful routing through the hillside landscape. The design rewards accuracy and course management, with the elevated tees, natural terrain changes, and strategic bunkering creating a series of visually spectacular and strategically demanding holes.
Terre Blanche has hosted the French Open and is widely regarded as the benchmark for resort golf in France. The combination of the world-class golf, the five-star hotel, the spa, and the extraordinary Provençal setting creates a travel experience of exceptional quality — a destination that delivers on every level.

Why It Stands Out
France's Finest Resort
Terre Blanche is widely regarded as the finest resort golf destination in France — a five-star hotel and spa set among 750 acres of Provençal countryside, with two championship courses and panoramic views across the hills to the Mediterranean. The combination of world-class golf and exceptional resort facilities creates a travel experience of the highest quality.
Dave Thomas Design
The Le Château course was designed by Dave Thomas — one of the most respected golf architects of the modern era. His signature style of dramatic terrain routing, natural rock integration, and strategic bunkering creates a golf experience of great quality and visual spectacle that is among the most distinctive in French golf.
Provençal Setting
The course is set among the lavender hills of the Var — a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty and tranquillity in the heart of Provence. The olive groves, natural rock outcrops, and panoramic views across the hills to the Mediterranean create a sense of place that is unique in European golf.
French Open Heritage
Terre Blanche has hosted the French Open and is a proven championship venue. The course's tournament pedigree, combined with the five-star resort facilities and the extraordinary Provençal setting, creates a golf destination of genuine international standing.
