Perched high above the Mediterranean coastline between Marseille and Toulon, Fregate Provence Golf & Country Club is widely considered one of the most scenic golf destinations in southern France. Designed by acclaimed American architect Ronald Fream and opened in 1992, the resort’s championship 18-hole course flows through Bandol vineyards, pine forests, rocky Provençal terrain, and dramatic sea viewpoints overlooking the Bay of Bandol and Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer. The course is known for its elevation changes, technical routing, and unforgettable signature holes, especially the downhill seaside vistas that make it one of the most photographed golf experiences on the Mediterranean coast.
For golfers, Frégate offers a blend of championship golf and relaxed Provençal resort living. The par-71 layout rewards precision, intelligent course management, and adaptability to the famous Mistral winds, which can dramatically change the way the course plays. Alongside the main course, the club also features the more accessible 9-hole Frégalon course for beginners and short-game practice. The adjoining Le Frégate Provence resort adds a luxury dimension with spa facilities, pools, Mediterranean dining, tennis courts, and panoramic terraces overlooking the sea and vineyards. For traveling golfers seeking both a serious golfing challenge and an authentic Riviera-Provence atmosphere, Frégate delivers one of the most complete golf resort experiences in France.
