Golf de Barbaroux
The Championship Course
Barbaroux Golf Club, located in the heart of "Provence Verte" between Brignoles and Cabasse, is considered one of the finest courses in France. The course spans nearly 87 hectares of Mediterranean forest, winding through pine trees, holm oaks, and Provençal valleys. It is distinguished by a spectacular layout where every hole possesses a unique character.
Renowned for its challenging nature, Barbaroux favors strategic thinking over raw power. Undulating fairways, numerous doglegs, deep bunkers, strategically placed water hazards, and—above all—fast, heavily contoured greens require players to stay focused right up to the final putt. With a slope rating reaching 145 from the back tees, it ranks among the most technical courses in France.
Despite this difficulty, five sets of tees allow golfers of all skill levels to fully enjoy the course. Its preserved natural setting, the tranquility of the Provençal forest, and the on-site hotel, spa, and restaurant also make it an ideal destination for a golf getaway combining sport, relaxation, and the discovery of Provence.
