Golf at Barbaroux Golf Course
With a course length of 6600 yards, undulated fairways, and six extensive lakes, Barbaroux is an outstanding and demanding course designed by Peter Dye. To remain on narrow and bumpy fairways, iron shots will be necessary, and accuracy will be required to reach the pin on the very large and shaped greens (30% larger than average), especially on the 9th, with its three-level, 90-yard length green.
Lodging at Domaine de Saint-Endréol, a luxury golf hotel residence
in pure Provencal style with 35 suites, in a superb natural setting between the Provence heartland and the French Riviera, just a half hour drive from Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
Day 4
Golf at Taulane Golf Course
This challenging course, designed by the champion Gary Player (his first course in France) is in the heart of the Provence mountains, 3000 feet above sea level. Surrounding the Château de Taulane in a wild and natural landscape, the course offers spectacular views of the mountain ranges. The 9th and 18th holes end in front of the chateau, with a huge double green (as at St. Andrews) sharply defended by a water hazard.

Saint-Endréol is one of the most spectacular golf courses in Southern France, set amid a splendid natural site. The Roquebrune Mountain, which dominates the site, is set ablaze by the setting sun, while the river l'Endre meanders through century-old parasol pines. The 6800 yards course of impeccably maintained fairways is sculpt by the multiple facets of this seductive and varied landscape, creating the perfect experience for all levels of play. The 13th hole, with its intimidating precipice and green set on the river l'Endre, 90 feet below, tempts and challenges awaiting golfers - an authentic signature hole.
Suggested sightseeing: Visit typical Provencal villages on the Saint-Tropez peninsula - Gassin, overlooking vineyards, forests, and sea - Ramatuelle, perched on the top of a hill and surrounded by famous vineyards - or the legendary seaside village of Saint-Tropez.
