Is the Chenu wood, bordered by beautiful mountain landscapes, that the Barcelonnette golf course - Pra Loup welcomes you. At the confluence of the Bachelard, an impetuous torrent, and the Ubaye, a river with crystal clear waters, the parcours plays with the serenity of the place and nature: waterfalls, bodies of water and clearings accompany you throughout the 9 holes of this golf course. Set in a superb landscape at an altitude of 1100 meters, this 9 holes course accessible to all, offers an exceptional playground at the foot of Pra Loup and a bullet flight from the historic heart of Barcelonnette.
Hole N ° 1: Par 4
- This little par 4 is a good start. Possibility of getting closer to the green for long hitters but be careful of the out of bounds on the right. The more we advance towards the green, the more it narrows.
Hole N ° 2: Par 3
- A magnificent view of the “Tête de Louis 16”! A small bunker hidden just in front of the green will collect short balls.
Hole N ° 3: Par 4
- It will take a certain range of the ball to cross this water obstacle in the middle of the hole. You will then have a second affordable shot to reach that deep green.
Hole N ° 4: Par 5
- Superb left “dog leg”. A long, straight face-off is needed to afford a second magnificent shot along the Ubaye with a view of the “Tête de Louis 16”. Be careful not to get lost to the right by playing it headwind. This large green is protected by a bunker.
Hole N ° 5: Par 3
- This pretty par 3 in the middle of the trees is protected by a small piece of water which will stop bad tee shots.
Hole N ° 6: Par 4
- The “Chapeau de Gendarme” will be facing you on this right “dog leg”. A very good "drive" is essential before being able to play a second shot towards the double plateau green protected on the left by a large body of water.
Hole N ° 7: Par 4
- This technical left dog leg will require vigilance on your tee shot. The prevailing wind is coming from the right. A second blow, headwind this time, with a new view of the “Tête de Louis 16” to make you forget the difficulty (plan to play one or two more clubs).
Hole N ° 8: Par 4
- The "No man's land" of Bois Chenu. When you are on the men's tees (white and yellow) you will have the impression that the fairway is far to reach it. This is usually the windiest hole on the course. The second shot remains delicate with the wind blowing from the left and a well-defended raised green.
Hole N ° 9: Par 5
- The most beautiful view of the course on the “Chapeau de Gendarme” and the “Pain de Sucre”. This atypical Par 5 is a left then right double dog leg which will require length, precision and above all patience to get out of it unscathed!
