Golf Holidays in Provence, France

Chateaublanc Golf Club

The site was originally planted with Poplar hedges renowned for their wind shielding qualities. These were cleverly used by the courses architectural duo to carve out the available space into independent fairways.

At Chateaublanc Golf Course, the layout was designed by Gery Watine and Thierry Sprecher. It features some 30 odd bunkers with soft curves, and these are used to protect small greens, some of which are at the 6th, 14th and 15th holes and these are also perched on slopes. There are also ditches, ponds and reservoirs at this golf course.

The outward and homeward loops cross over in front of the somber Clubhouse, set in an ancient, solidly built sheepfold. The holes nearest the club are set on open ground, dotted with occasional shrubs and young trees planted after the clubs first tournament the "Coupe des Plantations". The profits from which were used to embellish the courses stock of Mediterranean trees and plants.

The sites of "Chateaublanc" and "Chateauvert" date back to the 12th century and are located on a line of defence running from Sorgue to Bonpas, famous for its Carthuisain monastery. Although "Chateauvert" still exists "Chateaublanc" disappeared when the adjacent airport was built.
