Golf Club Saint-Tropez

Golf Club Saint-Tropez occupies elevated terrain in Gassin, a hilltop village perched above the famous coastal resort. The course was designed by Gary Player in collaboration with French architects Gery Watine and Thierry Sprecher, blending Player's international design philosophy with local knowledge of the Provençal landscape. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural topography, with fairways that move through Mediterranean vegetation including cork oaks, umbrella pines, and native scrubland characteristic of the Var region. The layout presents a mix of elevation changes and strategic challenges shaped by the rolling terrain. Views extend across the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and toward the Massif des Maures, providing a distinctive coastal backdrop uncommon in French golf. The design incorporates the region's microclimates, with sea breezes influencing play particularly on holes with southern exposure. Water features and bunkering reflect Player's design signature, while the routing respects the natural contours and preserves much of the existing vegetation. The club serves both international visitors drawn to the Saint-Tropez area and members from the surrounding Côte d'Azur communities. Its location near one of the Mediterranean's most recognized resort destinations gives it a cosmopolitan character during the summer season, while spring and autumn offer quieter conditions suited to the regional climate. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities consistent with resort-area clubs in southern France.
