Golf de Servanes
Set around an old Provencal estate at Mouries, in the limestone foothills of the Alpilles, Golf de Servanes opened in 1989 as a par 72 of about 6,141 meters. Olive groves, water and avenues of plane trees shape an unhurried parkland round about ten minutes from Les Baux de Provence and Saint-Remy, in one of the loveliest corners of the south of France.

The verdict
Golf de Servanes is Provence in golfing form: an 18 hole parkland course laid out in 1989 around the Chateau de Servanes, an old estate at Mouries in the foothills of the Alpilles. Credited to the architects T. Sprecher and G. Watine, it plays to a par 72 of about 6,141 meters across gently rolling ground softened by olive groves, stands of plane and cypress, and the limestone ridge of the Alpilles rising behind. It is the most natural golf in this part of Provence, and a course that earns its reputation as much for its setting as for its design.
The appeal is atmosphere and position. The course sits within easy reach of Les Baux de Provence, Saint-Remy and Arles, so a round here folds neatly into a wider trip built around the food, wine, light and history that draw travelers to the region. The golf is honest and enjoyable rather than fearsome, suiting members and visitors of all standards, and the Provencal backdrop turns an ordinary round into something memorable. For a golfer touring the south of France, Servanes is a relaxed, scenic anchor for a day in the Alpilles.

The holes worth the trip
Servanes is a course of quiet pleasures rather than dramatic set pieces. The ground is gently rolling rather than severe, with mature olives, plane trees and cypress framing the fairways and the occasional lake and ditch adding strategy without overwhelming the round. At about 6,141 meters off the back it is a fair par 72 that rewards a steady, accurate game, and the well placed bunkering and honest greens ask for thought on the approach more than length off the tee. It is a course you can score on if you keep the ball in play and read the Provencal greens well.
The setting does much of the work. The Alpilles loom over the closing stretch, the air carries the scent of pine and wild herbs, and the old farm buildings of the estate give the clubhouse a real sense of place. Conditioning is dependable and the layout is comfortably walkable, though a buggy is an easy way to enjoy the views. The variety of trees and the changing aspect toward the hills keep the round interesting from first tee to last green.
Golf de Servanes suits the golfer who wants relaxed, scenic Provencal golf as part of a trip built around the wider region. It pairs naturally with the championship golf at Golf de Pont Royal and the heathland of Golf de Barbaroux for a varied Provence itinerary.
