Golf de Barbaroux

The most mysterious and private route in France
The Vidauban golf course is located in the heart of the Massif des Maures, in Provence. it is rightly considered one of the most beautiful courses in Europe. However, it is reserved for its members and their guests. Its exceptional layout is the work of architects Robert Trent Jones and his son Robert Junior.

Story
The genesis of certain clubs is sometimes complicated. Indeed, Vidauban - formerly the Prince of Provence - is one of them. Emerged from the ground in 1999, this atypical club since it is reserved for its members and their guests has been more often talked about by the successive trials and appeals to the Draguignan court than by the beauty of the layout and the nature which had seduced Robert Trent Jones. from the seventies.

Literally fell in love with this Var countryside, the Californian architect then bought this property while promising himself to build the "ideal course" there! Between the death of his wife, illness and a consequent activity, he took his time, helped by his son Robert Junior, before seeing the birth of what some consider to be the most beautiful course in continental Europe.
The Vidauban course
Under these conditions, we can only regret that so few players can benefit from it. Today only twenty-five members share this club where everything seems ready as if a hundred players were going to disembark each morning. Most often played in a cart over the 6486 meters of a classic par 72, taking into account the distances between the holes, the design can only be seen on the hole in play. An additional luxury in the heart of the Plaine des Maures!
The quality of the ground, the mowing of the greens, the decor, the vegetation alternating parasol pines with other Mediterranean species, perfection is constant. This environment is mind-blowing even if nothing ostentatious disturbs the peace of the game.
Maintenance and infrastructure
Constantly evolving, the club redesigned its drainage system, adding 175 km of pipes to a demanding basement. The undergrowth has been cleaned, often covered with wood shavings, and a drop of 30% of the watered surfaces does not affect the aesthetics or the quality of the game. In the absence of any signage, the holes appear. follow naturally, alternating wide fairways with ponds or ancient rocks.

The clubhouse, built like a mini Provencal village, is a little too quiet, while the food served on the terrace goes to the essentials with beautiful salads and basic dishes of Mediterranean cuisine.
If luck smiles on you and you have the opportunity to tread these fairways one day, do not hesitate, cross France or the planet, the opportunity may not occur often ...
