All golf courses around Castles - Golf courses & hotels

The Lolivarie golf course is located in Saint-Germain-de-Belvès, a pretty French town located in the Dordogne department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Its 18-hole course deploys its greens and fairways along a very small stream, in the middle of large oaks, poplars and willows over approximately 6 meters in the heart of the Périgord Noir, between castles and picturesque sites. .
Golf history

A friendly welcome is required in this golf course, the first 9-hole course of which dates back to 1984. It was the work of Jean Duc, then owner of a hotel-restaurant on the site and who wanted to offer his customers - canoeing , walks and Golf.
The first nine completely flat holes then emerge from the farmland located below Lolivarie, a small medieval Périgord village which gave its name to the golf course.
In the early 2000s, Simone and André AZOULAY bought the golf course and the purchase of new plots allowed the course to go from 9 to 18 holes in 2001.

The course
The aerial view of the Lolivarie golf course is surprising. Indeed, it shows an almost symmetry of the two 9 holes, a bit like a butterfly with outstretched wings with the Club-House between the outward journey and the return. Over time, the routes have become more firmly established and the two parts of the route present very distinct challenges.
The first 9 holes
The going is to be attacked with humility and modesty. Indeed, the greens are delicate and we quickly find ourselves in the small stream which borders almost all of the first 9 holes.
The last 9 holes
On the way back, you will have to take out the driver to investigate a few bridles. With three par 5s including the 14th, the longest par 5 in the department with 536m of white benchmarks, the nine new holes are inspired by American courses with space at the end of the drive but obstacles to overcome.
The signature hole
Number 12, the signature hole of the Lolivarie golf course, is a par 4 of 297 meters welcoming two ponds and equipped with a relatively short peninsula green, it symbolizes this Florida fragrance distilled in the Dordogne valley.

In the end, you will walk a technical course suitable for all levels of play.

You will find an ideal structure for training and golf courses thanks to the two approach holes, the putting green and the imposing driving range. Also, competitions and tournaments are organized throughout the year. Finally, the clubhouse and the brasserie where you will receive a warm welcome will win you over.
