Regarded as the authority on European golf courses and resorts, Golf World compiled a panel of 18 industry experts to review and judge resorts from across the Continent. This latest accolade reaffirms the unparalleled five-star experience, facilities and service available at Terre Blanche, confirming the resort’s position as the number one destination in Europe for golf enthusiasts and professionals worldwide.
Situated in the heart of Provence Côte d’Azur, Terre Blanche is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses, Le Château and Le Riou, both designed by renowned Welsh architect Dave Thomas. These courses are inspired by nature and incorporate the surrounding Provencal landscape – valleys, lakes, gullies, waterfalls and forests – as a variety of challenges to players. The resort is committed to the environment and is one of only seven golf clubs in France to be GEO Certified® (Golf Environment Organisation).

TERRE BLANCHE HISTORY:
At the end of the 1990s, Dietmar Hopp discovered the exceptional landscape of Terre Blanche and fell in love with what was then a dreamlike plot of woodland from a project never completed. The avid golfer and entrepreneur had great vision for what the immense space could become. Today, the stunning location that is now Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort reflects the passion of Hopp’s dream, while preserving the fragile balance of its natural surroundings. An environmentally aware and carefully built resort and golf centre, Terre Blanche aspires not only to provide the upmost quality experience for its guests but also to enhance the economy and tourism of the region.
