Travel expert Jürgen Linnenbürger explores Terre Blanche, one of the most exclusive golf resorts in continental Europe.
Luxury and Championship Golf in Provence
Nestled in the picturesque Pays de Fayence in southeastern France, Terre Blanche is a five-star golf and spa resort that blends history, luxury, and world-class golf. Once owned by James Bond actor Sean Connery and later transformed by SAP co-founder Dietmar Hopp, the 300-hectare estate is now a sanctuary of tranquility and sophistication.
The resort features two championship courses designed by Dave Thomas—Le Château and Le Riou—offering challenging layouts, scenic views, and tour-level conditions. Le Château, a 6,044-meter par-72 course, is known for its demanding design and has hosted the French Riviera Masters. Le Riou, slightly shorter and more technical, is reserved for members and hotel guests and hosts the Terre Blanche Ladies Open on the LET Access Series.
Unmatched Facilities and Service
Terre Blanche is more than just golf. The Albatros Performance Center offers cutting-edge training with Toptracer systems and a unique biomechanical swing lab. The resort is a certified European Tour Destination and boasts GEO and biodiversity certifications for sustainability.
Guests enjoy spacious suites and villas, a luxurious spa with indoor and outdoor pools, and gourmet dining from Michelin-starred cuisine to relaxed brasserie fare. The service is discreet yet attentive, matching the high standards of the resort.

With green fees starting at €190 and rooms from €540 per night, Terre Blanche caters to discerning travelers seeking excellence. Regularly ranked among the top resorts in Europe, it offers a seamless blend of golf, wellness, and French art de vivre. For those seeking an extraordinary golf getaway, Terre Blanche sets the benchmark.
