The Best Golf for Couples in France

France does the couples golf trip better than almost anywhere: a great course in the morning, a destination spa in the afternoon and a long dinner with a serious wine list to finish. From Provence to Lake Geneva and the Bordeaux vineyards, here are the seven resorts we rate most highly for two, ranked.

How we chose them

A couples golf trip is judged on more than the course. We looked for resorts where the golf is genuinely good but the rest of the stay is just as strong: a destination spa, dining worth dressing up for, a setting that rewards a day off the fairways, and a layout playable enough that a higher handicap partner enjoys it too. The best of them work whether you both play or only one does.

Every designer and opening year here was checked at the time of writing, and all seven welcome visitors, most with stay and play packages built for two. The verdicts and the order are ours, weighted toward romance and the whole experience rather than championship difficulty alone. If you want a French golf and wellness trip built and costed for a couple, that is exactly what our concierge does.

The ranking

01

Terre Blanche, Le Chateau

Dave Thomas, 2000 · Provence, Var · five star spa resort

The benchmark couples golf resort in France, a five star hotel of private suite villas above the Provencal countryside near Tourrettes, with two Dave Thomas courses, a vast spa and Michelin level dining. Le Chateau is the stronger of the pair, a rolling, beautifully maintained test threaded through olive groves and water. With couples treatments, terrace dinners and the perched villages of the Var on the doorstep, it is the easiest place in the country to combine great golf with a romantic stay.

02

Evian Resort Golf Club

Cabell Robinson redesign · Evian les Bains, Lake Geneva · spa resort

Set on the hillside above Lake Geneva, the Champions course at Evian is the home of the Amundi Evian Championship, one of women's golf's majors, which tells you the place is built for the occasion. The golf is scenic and walkable rather than brutal, and the resort wraps it in a famous spa, lake views and the wellness heritage of the town. For a couple who want golf, water and pampering in one of the prettiest corners of the Alps, it is hard to beat.

03

Royal Mougins

Robert von Hagge, 1993 · Cote d'Azur, near Cannes · boutique spa hotel

A jewel box on the French Riviera, Royal Mougins pairs a clever Robert von Hagge course routed through a wooded valley with an intimate boutique hotel and spa minutes from Cannes and Mougins. The par 71 is short by modern standards but full of charm and risk, and the small scale of the hotel makes it feel like a private hideaway. With the Riviera coast, the old village of Mougins and its restaurants close by, it is a romantic base that punches well above its size.

04

Golf du Medoc Resort, Les Chateaux

Bill Coore, 1989 · Bordeaux, Gironde · spa resort in wine country

Golf in the heart of the Medoc vineyards, the Chateaux course is a Bill Coore design of heath and water on the edge of Bordeaux, recently reborn as part of a Cabot estate. The resort spa and the obvious draw of the surrounding wine country make it a natural couples pick: play in the morning, tour the great chateaux and taste in the afternoon. The golf is strong enough for the keen player and the setting does the rest for a partner who would rather be among the vines.

05

Le Touquet, La Mer

Harry Colt · Opal Coast, Hauts de France · chic seaside resort

The grand old seaside resort of the north, Le Touquet pairs the dunes of the Harry Colt designed La Mer links with a stylish town of spa hotels, restaurants and a long beach. A former French Open venue, La Mer is proper links golf among the marram and sand, and the town gives a non golfing partner plenty to do, from thalassotherapy to the boutiques. Easy to reach from the Channel, it makes a polished long weekend for two.

06

Hardelot, Les Pins

Tom Simpson, 1934 · Opal Coast, Hauts de France · pinewood classic

A short drive down the Opal Coast from Le Touquet, Hardelot's Les Pins is a 1934 Tom Simpson masterpiece laid through tall pines, a timeless, strategic course that golf purists adore. It is quieter and more intimate than its famous neighbour, which suits a couple looking for a calm, characterful round and a relaxed seaside base. Pair it with a night or two in Le Touquet and you have one of the most charming short golf escapes in northern France.

07

Les Bordes Estate

Robert von Hagge, 1986 · Sologne, Loire Valley · luxury lodge and spa

For a couple where one is a serious golfer, Les Bordes is the dream and the dare. The von Hagge Old course is often called the toughest in Europe, a stunning, water laced test in the forests of the Sologne, now joined by a luxury estate of lodges and a spa near the chateaux of the Loire. It is more golf retreat than spa resort, but the seclusion, the food and the easy reach of the Loire valley make it a memorable, grown up escape for two.

France couples golf questions

What is the best golf resort for couples in France?

Terre Blanche in Provence is widely rated the best golf resort for couples in France, a five star spa hotel with two Dave Thomas courses, Michelin level dining and Provencal scenery. Evian Resort on Lake Geneva and Royal Mougins on the Cote d'Azur are the other standout romantic golf bases.

Which French golf resorts are best for a couple where only one plays?

Terre Blanche, Evian and Royal Mougins all pair championship golf with destination spas, fine dining and easy non golf days, so a non golfing partner is well looked after. Evian's lakeside wellness, the Cote d'Azur around Royal Mougins and the Bordeaux vineyards at Golf du Medoc are all strong for mixing golf with time together off the course.

When is the best time for a couples golf trip to France?

Late spring, from May to June, and early autumn, in September and October, give the best mix of warm weather, settled conditions and quieter resorts across most of France. The Cote d'Azur and Provence play well from spring to autumn, while the Opal Coast and Bordeaux are at their best in summer.

Can visitors play these French resort courses?

Yes. All seven are resort or pay and play courses that welcome visitors, most with stay and play packages that suit couples. Green fees vary by course and season, so book ahead and confirm current rates, dress code and buggy policy with each resort before travelling.
