Located in the heart of Provence between Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, Golf of Pont Royal is regarded as one of the premier golf destinations in France and one of the finest championship layouts in continental Europe. The course was designed by the legendary Severiano Ballesteros and remains the only golf course he ever designed in France. Set among pine forests, limestone hills, lakes, and Provençal garrigue, the 18-hole Ballesteros course blends strategic shot-making with dramatic natural scenery. The routing is known for its immaculate conditioning, risk-reward design, and demanding yet fair challenge that rewards creativity and course management rather than simply power golf.
The club has built an international reputation through both its competitive pedigree and luxury resort atmosphere. Pont Royal hosted numerous European Challenge Tour and Alps Tour events for nearly three decades and has been voted “France’s Best Golf Course” multiple times at the World Golf Awards from 2021 through 2024. Beyond the championship course, the estate includes the advanced La Durance training center, expansive practice facilities, academy coaching, on-site accommodations, restaurants, and panoramic terraces overlooking the fairways and Luberon countryside. For traveling golfers, Pont Royal offers a quintessential Provence golf experience, combining elite-level golf, Mediterranean climate, and relaxed southern French elegance in one destination.
