Golf Grand Avignon

Located just outside the historic city of Avignon in the heart of Provence, Golf Grand Avignon offers a distinctly southern French golf experience built around wide water features, Mediterranean vegetation, and open panoramic landscapes. Designed by Georges Roumeas with input from legendary French golfer Jean Garaïalde, the 18-hole course stretches across 60 hectares of relatively flat terrain surrounded by lakes, lavender, olive trees, cypress, and views toward Mont Ventoux. Its “Florida-style” layout is unusual for Provence, creating a resort-style atmosphere that contrasts with the region’s more rugged hillside courses.

For golf travelers, the appeal of Grand Avignon lies in its accessibility, year-round playability, and relaxed Provençal setting. The course is known for strategic water hazards, generous fairways, and a routing that is enjoyable for a wide range of handicaps without being overly demanding physically, even during the hotter summer months. The standout practice area over water and the clubhouse terrace overlooking the course add to its resort feel, while the location makes it an ideal base for combining golf with wine touring, hill villages, and cultural destinations such as Avignon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
