At terre blanche, there is plenty of sunshine Рon average, 300 days a year. It's also a lovely place, nestled in a quiet corner of provence on the fringe of the stunning c̫te d'azur. The ambitious idea was to build an eldorado for golfers, and the fabled 6,616-meter le ch̢teau course opened to rapturous acclaim in 2000, thanks to the four seasons community and architect dave thomas.

Really, there are two courses here, both of which were designed by dave thomas. The château and le riou are both beautiful, well-kept courses with stunning views, but the riou will have to wait its turn because the château is the one that everybody is talking about.

The château course was pushed into the terrain like a hand into a silk glove by dave thomas. With a plan that will challenge the best golfers, thomas has turned the wild and hilly terrain into a golfing paradise.

The terre blanche hotel spa & golf resort is expected to draw a host of affluent golfers, and for good reason: this spectacular new golf resort is undoubtedly one of france's finest.
