Golf de Saint Donat
Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes
About This Course
Golf de Saint Donat stands as a testament to the artistry of Robert Trent Jones Jr., who crafted this magnificent layout through terrain steeped in history. The course follows the path of an ancient Roman road, weaving between century-old olive trees and majestic oaks that witnessed centuries of Provençal life before the first golf ball was ever struck here. Gary Player himself inaugurated this course, lending his legendary name to what remains one of the most respected layouts in the region. At 6,031 meters from the championship tees, Saint Donat presents a serious challenge that rewards both power and precision. Strategic water features guard several holes, while the famous Trent Jones bunkering demands respect throughout. The doglegs that characterize many holes require careful course management and the ability to shape shots in both directions. The greens are typically large but full of movement, creating three-putt opportunities for those who find the wrong tier. This is championship golf in every sense. The setting in the hills above Grasse, the world's perfume capital, adds another dimension to the experience. Aromatic vegetation scents the air as you play, while views extend across the Provençal countryside. The well-appointed clubhouse and excellent practice facilities complete a venue worthy of any serious golfer's attention.
