An exceptional natural setting in the heart of the PACA region
Located in the Luberon Regional Natural Park, the Pierrevert golf course is set in a preserved natural environment, just a few minutes from Manosque, in the heart of the PACA region (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur). Ranked among the best golf courses in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, it stands out as a must-visit destination in the South of France.
This Provençal golf course stands out for its intimate atmosphere, far from the bustle of Marseille, Vitrolles, or Nice. Here, you play among garrigue, green oaks, and lavender scents, just a stone’s throw from the Verdon Gorge, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and the famous L’Occitane lavender fields.
Le parcours serpente à travers les paysages typiques du Luberon, dévoilant de magnifiques vues sur les reliefs alentours et le massif des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. La nature environnante forme un écrin idéal pour une partie de golf exigeante mais ressourçante.
History and Eco-Responsible Commitment
Opened in 1988, the Golf du Luberon in Pierrevert was designed by the ARTEA firm. For over 30 years, it has attracted enthusiasts looking for a course that is both technical and natural.
This eco-committed golf course is part of the “Golf for Biodiversity” program, in partnership with the French National Museum of Natural History and the French Golf Federation (ffgolf). In Provence-Alpes, 16% of golf courses in the PACA region are already certified, a true sign of ecological commitment. On the course, late mowing, micro-habitats for wildlife, and responsible water management allow the sport to coexist with nature.
These efforts to preserve the environment help make the Golf du Luberon a model of sustainable development among golf courses in the PACA region. They also enhance the quality of the course, revealing land rich in biodiversity where local wildlife finds refuge.
A Strategic Golf Course in the Heart of the Luberon
With its 5,621 meters, this par-72 Luberon golf course is both a technical and strategic challenge. Reviews are unanimous: between blind holes, steep elevations, and sloping greens, it is a demanding course where every shot counts.
To refine your strategy, watch France Golfs Films videos or Global FlyOverGreen flyovers available online. These filmed golf courses allow you to better anticipate the challenges of the layout.
The varied relief of the course requires careful reading of the terrain. Managing slopes, mastering the Provençal wind, and choosing the right clubs are essential to perform. The driving range and putting green allow players to train in conditions close to those encountered on the course.
Signature Holes Not to Be Missed:
- Hole No. 1 (Par 5 – HCP 2): play it safe before the ravine with a well-placed iron shot.
- Hole No. 7 (Par 4 – HCP 1): a challenging uphill shot to a technical green, not to be underestimated.
- Hole No. 11 (Par 4 – HCP 5): a formidable hole to tackle with boldness, requiring a 150 m carry over a ravine.
This course is often described as a “beautiful course,” worth playing several times to grasp all its subtleties.
