Domaine de Manville

The 18-hole layout at Golf de Domaine de Manville is rather unique with its eye-catching geometrically shaped greens and bunkers – some might say it’s where the design schools of Desmond Muirhead and Seth Raynor collide in southern France!

A 9-hole course previously existed here before it was extended to eighteen holes in recent years, with the new holes set out amid olive groves and stone walls, integrating into the landscape and the environment. Indeed, it’s the first French golf course to be awarded the Ecocert Label.

The new layout extends to just under 5,500 metres, playing to a par of 71 (36 out then 35 in) with three of the first five holes configured as par threes. There are short par fours at #4 and #14 and back-to-back par fives feature at #8 and #9.

For sure, the golf experience at Domaine de Manville is anything but conventional!
