Golf de Servanes - 18 holes at Mouriès - Provence
A Provençal gem at the foot of the Alpilles
This 18-hole course carved through the white rock of the Alpilles is filled with the sound of cicadas and the scent of thyme and lavender. Golf de Servanes is the essence of Provence.
Architects Thierry Sprecher and Gery Watine took advantage of this picture postcard setting to create their scenic course. It starts at the foot of the rocks with undulating fairways bordered by olive groves, continues with an American flavour (two huge island greens) and ends surrounded by maritime pine trees. All set to the sweet song of the cicadas!
Players of all abilities will appreciate the beauty of the landscape, the shade of the olive trees and the cascading lakes.

- Blue 457
- Red 418
