Golf de Roquebrune Resort

Golf de Roquebrune sits in the Var department of southeastern France, roughly midway between Cannes and Saint-Tropez in the Roquebrune-sur-Argens commune. Michel Gayon designed the course, which opened in the 1990s as part of a residential resort development. The property occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of the Provençal landscape, with views toward the distinctive red rock formations of the Rocher de Roquebrune that give the area its name. The layout incorporates natural Mediterranean vegetation including umbrella pines, cork oaks, and olive trees, with several holes routed through more open terrain and others framed by mature woodland. Water features appear on multiple holes, and the design emphasizes strategic bunkering and varied approach angles rather than extreme length. The course serves both resort guests and members, offering a relatively accessible test of golf in a region better known for its coastal courses along the Côte d'Azur. Roquebrune functions primarily as a leisure facility within the broader resort complex, which includes residential properties and other amenities. The setting provides a quieter alternative to the busier coastal clubs, with the inland location offering a different character from the more exposed seaside layouts found elsewhere in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The course remains a regional option for golfers exploring the area between the Alps and the Mediterranean coast.
