Digne Les Bains Golf Course South of France

5556 Metres Par 72

Featuring pines and oaks, some of which are over three hundred years old, the course scenery is an unusual mix of Mediterranean and mountain.

Digne Les Bains Golf Course is comfortably installed in 173 acres, and comprises of a succession of loops heading to and from the Clubhouse. Using the sites natural relief to alternate relaxed dog legs, rises and falls with the exception of the more demanding 11th and 15th holes.

The round can be tackled on foot, despite quite sporty but wonderfully isolated par 4s. In return the holes are fairly short, and the pars 3s are sensibly dimensioned but require good accuracy.

The site exhales the delightful colour and fragrance of lavender from the worlds "Lavendar Capital", and nearly 4 acres of lavender adorn the fairways until harvest time in late September.

A journey through this beautifully persevered landscape, punctuated by white marble sculptures carved by the towns Beaux-Arts cannot fail to astonish. Information panes mounted on fossilized rock at the first tee remind visitors that the site is part of the "Reserve Naturelle Geoloigique de Haute Provence". Europes largest reserve covering 1900 km2 anfd harbouring 300 million years of fascinating history.

The train which whistles 3 times as it crosses the golf course is not a mirage. It is the highly touristic "Train des Pignes" railcar traveliing from Digne to Nice in 3 hours. The view over the needles, rigdes, passes, raines, peaks and cliffs of the adjacent Alps are fabulous.
