Editor’s Note: Terre Blanche is the finest resort course on the French Riviera — set in 750 acres of Provençal landscape with olive trees, lavender and oak forests above the Var hills. Dave Thomas’s Château Course flows through the estate’s natural terrain with exceptional variety and visual beauty; the Esterel mountain views from the elevated back nine are the finest panorama in French resort golf. The five-star hotel and spa make Terre Blanche the most complete golf destination in France.

Key Notes & 19th Hole
- The Parfum of Provence: The lavender, wild thyme, rosemary and cistus bordering every fairway create a sensory experience unique in European resort golf — especially vivid in June when the lavender blooms.
- The Riou Course: The companion course at Terre Blanche — shorter, equally beautiful and ideal for a relaxed afternoon round after the Château Course’s demands in the morning.
- Terre Blanche Hotel (5★): Provençal stone villa accommodation on the estate — the most atmospheric golf stay on the Riviera. Book via Expedia →
