Domaine de Manville

Set beneath the dramatic limestone cliffs of Les Baux-de-Provence in the heart of the Alpilles, Golf des Baux de Provence, more commonly known internationally as Golf du Domaine de Manville,  is one of the most distinctive golf experiences in southern France. The 18-hole championship course was designed to blend seamlessly into the Provençal landscape, with olive groves, dry-stone walls, lavender tones, and natural waterways shaping the routing. Unlike traditional parkland layouts, the course reflects the agricultural geometry of the surrounding countryside, creating a visually striking and uniquely regional golfing atmosphere. It was also the first golf course in France to receive Ecocert environmental certification, emphasizing sustainability and preservation of the local ecosystem.

For golfers, Manville offers a refined but relaxed luxury experience that combines strategic golf with the elegance of a five-star Provençal estate. The course rewards precision and thoughtful shot placement more than brute distance, with geometric bunkers, subtly contoured greens, and constantly changing sightlines against the Alpilles mountains. Off the course, the estate includes the luxurious Domaine De Manville hotel, spa facilities, fine dining at L'Aupiho, and a relaxed clubhouse atmosphere that appeals equally to golf travelers and leisure guests. The result is a destination that feels less like a conventional resort and more like an immersive Provençal retreat centered around world-class golf and understated French luxury.
