Walking stamina required.
Reviewed March 23, 2016
Holes that range from interesting to odd, few are dull though. Hefty downhill or uphill climbing at a few holes requires walking strength.

Once is enough..
Reviewed September 7, 2022
We can only fully agree with the previous speaker "HeinzG". He described it wonderfully. Even in September '22, three years later, nothing has changed, only that the greens were still super fast. The condition was good. Despite the drought that summer everything was nice and green. It's also not without danger all the way up and down the mountain. We already had the first failure at hole two (skewed with a foot on the slopes). A cart is definitely recommended. After the round we (HCP 1,3, 7,14,15 and 17) were all exhausted (without a cart) and frustrated. We felt the same way in the restaurant. No greeting and annoyed service, even though we were the only guests. As a hotel golf course, in our opinion, not at all suitable, since a hotel guest does not do it twice.

A good deal of masochism is here
Reviewed May 7, 2019
Pete Dye takes full advantage when it comes to ugly features that make a place really difficult, sometimes even unfair, at least for average golfers. Infinitely long or deep bunkers, hidden and open bumps in the fairways and around the green, undulating fairways, hanging greens. That's what Augusta must feel like. If you are not exactly in the right places, you have no chance for par. Here you can experience humility in pure culture, even with HCP 7! What is NOT helpful are the many blind strokes, as there is no information about the hole in the square. The place in this design belongs actually more in the lowlands and not in the Pre-Alpes. And the care condition - a disaster. As others mention, except for the greens and the very narrow mown fairways the place is clearly neglected. Thanks to Klee, etc., the Semirough often eats a pretty sensible blow, which is annoying. The greens were not even fast - what does the place look like in the summer? GAR did NOT have anything to eat, not even in the bistro. And the service was nonexistent. Within walking distance is the place only for very fit athletes. So our conclusion: Play better again Pont Royal, which is also difficult but fair.

My favorite
Reviewed April 10, 2019
I have played many times both in winter and in summer!
Always with the car otherwise between ascents and transfers I do not arrive at the bottom.
There are fascinating holes that you don't find in other golf courses and some are difficult but it's the beauty of this course. I was lucky once to play with a friend who knows him like his pockets so... I played pretty well.
If you go to PROVENCE you have to try it. Either you love it or you hate it!

The hardest place...
Reviewed October 27, 2018
... in southern France - we know almost all in this region - from several perspectives. Pete Dye has built in - none of his seats is simple, so playfully challenging. Very hilly topography, so athletic very demanding. Nursing is always a topic, does not make the game necessarily easier.
We never played our hcp here.
Here we played in the spring of 1994 for the first time - athletic - and suffered. Today we drive, sporty we do not do this anymore. The decision was right... the ladies take their LadysDay - as always when we men play here.
It is so, care and maintenance is not what you expect from Pete Dye Coursen - too bad.
You should have been here once to see what golf can do so hard. Your own claims must fit however.
Some holes are loud, they run along the highway.
The ranking is still amazing. He was among the top 20 in the list of the Top 100 France. Today he is one of the top 30.
We do not have such a good ranking, too many things do not fit together. Four stars yes - without restriction.

American Square in the middle of Provence
Reviewed January 6, 2018
In the winter on wonderfully well-kept, huge greens played. Partly quite long tracks - a place for long hitters. The way from the parking lot to the clubhouse goes up steeply - sign in, back down to the parking lot, then 10 minutes walk from the parking lot to tee 1 - that should be said when registering. If you have reached time under pressure at tea 1, you are first time ready.
The course itself is fully recommended and worth the money - no train is the other. One challenge at a time Partly frightening bunker landscapes. From the green 18 to the clubhouse then again a small hike uphill required. In the winter in moderate temperatures with electric trolley feasible, in the summer you are without cart probably after 9 trains ko A train goes directly along the highway - all other very idyllic integrated into the terrain.
You have to play the course if you are in the area.

Golf de Barbaroux
Reviewed September 1, 2015
Today I Golf de Barbaroux played, unfortunately my saddest golf experience ever! € 50 for 9 holes, plus. € 7 for a 20-year-old trolley on a place with extreme differences in height is completely covered. The site has up to the greens a catastrophic state care!

The monster of Provence
Reviewed January 9, 2014
With the lovely beads (meaning the other courses in the area are), this monster has nothing to do!
This place calls for the golfer total!
From my Hdcp. I was 10 miles away! But has made great fun! The golf course itself has a spectacular Pete Dye design.
It should be the place suf omit any circumstances!

Positive surprise before Easter
Reviewed March 29, 2013
Some "blind" blows required, but highly varied Golf Course, no hole is like the other.
Impressive and well maintained landscapes bunker, partially almost terrifying Green defending bunker.
Numerous water hazards and spectacular built. If you "in regulation" plays rather flat terrain... All in all a great golf experience, 17 points level. No waiting.

No pleasure
Reviewed December 23, 2012
June 2012:
Place was unfortunately in a bad state care (fairways) and off the tracks very much rubble and dead land. But was much more frustrating the design of the fairways. Hardly a fairway view was (total flying blind). Fun players with a medium HCP should steer clear of this place. Conclusion: Extremely difficult to play.
