Everything about the top golf courses in Marseille
The top golf courses in and around Marseille reflect a ranking shaped by verified reviews from golfers and by the strength of the surrounding golf landscape. Golf de Pont Royal in the Luberon is the strongest course accessible from Marseille. The resort course, designed by Seve Ballesteros with Ron Kirby, sits on the hillside above the Durance river with views across the Luberon plateau and a routing through Provençal garrigue, olive groves and pine woodland. Several holes look out over the Luberon valley on a clear day with the ochre-coloured villages of the plateau visible beyond the course boundary. The course has professional tournament history and is maintained to a resort standard. Golf d'Aix-en-Provence is the most useful course for golfers using Marseille as a base who also want to visit Provence's most appealing city. Located on the Aix plateau north of Marseille, the course runs through a mixture of open Provençal countryside and enclosed woodland, with a layout that provides good variety across 18 holes. Golf de Marseille La Salette offers the convenience factor, eight kilometres from the city centre, playable at short notice, with a course through cork oak and limestone hill terrain that captures the garrigue character of Provence without requiring a significant drive. Golf de Servanes at Saint-Martin-de-Crau, in the flat Crau plain between Marseille and Arles, provides an unexpected option: its course on open Crau territory, where the Mistral blows uninterrupted from the north, plays in wind conditions more reminiscent of links golf than Provençal parkland. The Camargue and the Rhône delta landscape visible from the course's flatter sections add an atmospheric dimension unique to this part of southern France.
