Golf de Barbaroux is one of Europe’s most prestigious courses, located in the heart of Provence. It unfolds over a distance of 6068m (6614 yards) in a magnificent wooded landscape of 87 hectares. Pete and PB Dye, two American world renowned golf architects, chose the Provence to build their unique European jewel, their design combines the love for nature with technical flair; and is ornamented by 6vast lakes in the purest tradition of modern American golf design.
It is in this region of south of France that in 1989 was inaugurated this 18 hole of international standards: The Barbaroux Golf Club.

Spectacular with it’s natural beauty: Barbaroux is surrounded by vineyards and Mediterranean pine trees ‘covering the hillsides. The climate offers 300 days of sunshine per year. Barbaroux is a place where winters are dry and sunny, permitting golf all year around with temperatures achieving 15°C in December and January.

Location: Flayosc
Region: Var, Provence
South of France
Near: Draguignan

Here is Peter Haslam’s opinion, independent expert of the famous magazine Golf World (April 1997):

“The best course of the Côte d’Azur region is probably Barbaroux, rightly classified 42nd in the Top 50 European courses by Golf World, but personally I would put it in a much better position.”
“Designed by the American architects Pete & P.B. Dye who have given their characteristic signature, notably the presence of wood beams retaining the lakes. The course unfolds in the var Mediterranean forest, beginning with a par 4 where the first difficulty is to decide how much of the lake you will cover, don’t be too greedy. The 3rd hole is an “adventure” needing a long iron or fairway wood to play a blind shot to the green far below, the 4th is difficult and interesting par 3 where you will pass through a tunnel under the green.”
“Barbaroux is one of the rare golf courses where every hole is ‘unforgettable’ and where the greens are fast and honest. If I was to spend the rest of my life playing the same French golf course, it would be Barbaroux.”

Extract from Golf Magazine (April 2002):

“Architectural brilliance, Barbaroux is a fabulous achievement and enhances Pete Dye’s reputation. What a course, Barbaroux is a monument to golf, particularly difficult, but as is often the case with a truly great course is that it is well designed, permitting players of all levels, from different tees, to fully enjoy this splendid course….”
