River Winds Golf Holidays

Archive for the ‘Golf Holiday in France’ Category

France is not yet internationally recognised as a golf haven. This is a very good thing. To see what I mean, you only have to glance at the crowded fairways of the Algarve and the Costa del Sol/Brava/Almeria etc. This fact, coupled with close proximity to the UK, a huge number of travel options and fantastic cuisine make France a great place to take a golf holiday.

Still need more reasons? OK. Well here we go:

France has more golf courses than the rest of continental Europe put together. 25 of which are rated in Europe’s top 100. Green Fees in France are, on average, much cheaper than in the UK. This allows you more rounds or a better class of golf course.

France is a charming country with many interesting traditions. Where else in the world would you experience this other than France?

No doubt you learnt a bit of French at school. Even the dumbest of you will have picked up ‘Bonjour’ and ‘Merci’. No? Well no need to worry about that, the ratio of English speakers to non English speakers in France is much higher than that of French speakers in England. You will find almost everyone employed at a golf course which is frequented by Brits can speak enough of the Language to get you on the first tee and a beer in your belly at the 19th hole.

The climate in the southern regions of France means that, in this region at least, it is golfing weather all year round. No need to carry an umbrella, waterproofs, gloves and 4 pairs of socks.
