France

The fact that France believes in golf is quite clear because of the successful bid and organization of the Ryder Cup in 2018 at Le Golf National. This course is owned by FFGolf (the French golf federation) and a lot of money has been invested in the new Ryder Cup course L'Albatros. In total there are 665 golf clubs in France. The best golf courses in France are: Golf de Morfontaine, Terre Blanche, Les Aisses Golf, Golf De Fontainebleau, Le Château de Taulane and Le Golf National. You can stay in France in some of Europe's best golf resorts such as Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort, Domaine De Manville, Golf du Medoc Hotel, Les Domaines de Saint Endreol Golf & Spa Resort and Royal Mougins. Temperatures in France can vary considerably from the North to the South. The best period for golf in France is from May to October. In summertime, it can get quite hot, especially in the South of France. During the summer it can also be quite busy, especially in French hotels and (golf) resorts. Prices are considerably higher during the holiday season.
