Pont Royal Golf Club South of France

Pont Royal Golf Course

Location:- South of France

6303 Metres Par 72

The owner of the internationally famous "Moulin de Vernegues" hotel/restaurant (currently located between holes 2 and 3), first put the idea for this golf course forward. The project was submitted to Seve Ballesteros, who had already designed several successful courses in Spain.

Covering 445 acres the future "Domaine de Pont Royal" had a dual objective. Firstly to build a typically Provencal style village, and secondly the creation of a harmonious and rhythmic eighteen hole golf course.

Although the project was completed in 1992, the Clubhouse did not open until 2002. The golf course starts at the foot of the clubhouse with a short par 4, who's green is tucked away in the fir plantation down the main plateau.

In the parks tree filled landscape, the following 4 holes are set out ingeniously in a wide corridor where a winding stream runs. The only upward climb is to the 6th hole tee, which kicks off a series of holes offering 360° panoramic views over the village of Mallemort perched on its rocky spur to the north, Durance Valley, the soft curves of the "Luberon", and the "Chaine de la Trevaresse" mountain chain heading towards Aix en Provence.

The 9th hole unrolls calmly over 500 metres to the foot of the pyramid shaped Pont Royal village. After a 4 hole loop, including one long par 3 crossing an impressive ravine, the last five holes slip by in the shade of a pine forest to finish opposite the club terrace. Both tactical and amusing, Pont Royal golf course requires good golfing sense.

Pont Royal Golf Course has wide fairways, broad, sloping greens, and a good variety of decors and shots, interspersed regularly with pretty much hazard free water.

Amateurs will be at ease here, while professionals will have already pounded these fairways several times during both men's and women's professional tours.

The Provence Golf Pass is available for this Golf Course
