Champion-Cocktails and award ceremony in the evening
Golf de la Bresse is located on the outskirts of Bourg-en-Bresse; a small, charming commune in the Rhône-Alpes region. The 18-hole, par-72 course stretches across more than 90 hectares of unspoiled nature. Designed by Jeremy Pern, one of Europe’s leading golf course architects and a French native, the La Bresse Golf Course is set in a tranquil rural setting surrounded by forest and agricultural land. The comparatively flat course makes good use of the natural terrain; alternating through open and wooded areas and adding various water hazards to make it interesting; evidence of this can be found on the 11th and 12th holes.

Set in the heart of the Burgundy vineyards in the Bourgogne region of France, the 18-hole, par-72 course is remarkably flat in comparison to the rolling hills of the wine region that make up its surroundings. The inviting course sits on an expansive green carpet of well-maintained grass and features thousands of mature trees, nine lakes, and numerous white-sand bunkers.
Bastide De La Salette Golf Club
The Bastide de la Salette Golf Club is located in a natural paradise on the outskirts of Marseille, near the Vieux Port (old port). The club features an undulating 18-hole course situated in a Provençal landsca- pe with beautiful views of the Marseille basin and the Garlaban mountains. Before 1989, when the course officially opened, large sections of the grounds were private property. Michel Gayon expertly designed the 18-hole golf course, the pitch-andputt course, and the driving range in this ever-changing landscape, blending them seamlessly into the natural surroundings. The traditional Provençal clubhouse is situated in what used to be the Château Vaudran farmhouse. Not only does the course present an invigorating challenge for golfers but it is also a haven of natural diversity.
Club Golf De Servanes
At the foothill of southern France’s Alpilles Mountains, the prestigious Golf de Servanes is perfectly situated on 40 hectares of protected nature and nestled against the dramatic white cliffs and olive-tree fields surrounding Les Baux-de-Provence. Golf architects Thierry Sprecher and Gery Watine took full advantage of the natural features of the region to create a scenic golf course that snakes around the rocky hills of the Alpilles with a mix of parkland and woodland areas. The 18-hole, par-72 course features hilly fairways, olive groves, lakes, and two huge island greens.
Golf Domaine De La Valdaine
The Domaine de la Valdaine Golf Club enjoys an idyllic location in the heart of the Drôme Provençale region with its famous lavender fields and stunning natural scenery. The 18-hole, par-71 course was designed by the English golf course architect Tom McAuley and opened in 1989. In addition, Domaine de la Valdaine offers its guests the opportunity to sharpen their skills on the 22-tee driving range as well as on the putting greens and practice bunkers.
