Golf Club d'Aix Marseille

Golf Club d'Aix Marseille sits in Les Milles, a commune within the greater Aix-en-Provence area in southeastern France. Designed by Peter Cannon, the course occupies terrain characteristic of inland Provence—gently rolling land with Mediterranean vegetation and views toward the surrounding hills. The layout reflects Cannon's approach to working with natural contours and integrating native plantings, creating a setting that feels rooted in the regional landscape rather than imposed upon it. The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes, offering variety in hole character and strategic options. Players encounter a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with fairways that reward positioning and approach shots that demand accuracy to greens protected by bunkers and natural slopes. Water features appear on several holes, adding tactical considerations without dominating play. The course serves both members and visitors, functioning as a regional facility for golfers in the Aix-Marseille corridor. The club provides a base for golf in an area better known for its cultural heritage and Mediterranean climate than for its concentration of courses. Les Milles itself lies between Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, making the facility accessible to both cities. The course offers a straightforward test suited to a range of abilities, with enough length and design interest to engage experienced players while remaining approachable for those less familiar with the game.
