Vidauban Golf Club

Few corners of France marry serious golf with serious wine country quite like the Var interior. Vidauban sits in the heart of Provence's Côtes de Provence appellation, a village surrounded by vineyards, cork oaks, and the limestone-scarred hills that roll inland from the Côte d'Azur. The course occupies this landscape authentically — you're playing through the kind of scenery that has nothing to prove, far enough from the coastal crowds to feel genuinely rural.

Vidauban Golf Club is a solid, well-regarded layout for the region, drawing a mix of local members, visiting golfers touring Provence, and those staying along the nearby Riviera who want a round away from the more manicured resort tracks closer to the coast. The Maures massif frames the backdrop, and the course works with rather than against the natural contours of the Argens valley corridor.

The Var has a reliable golf climate — warm, dry summers and mild winters make year-round play realistic, though spring and autumn offer the most pleasant conditions, when the surrounding countryside is at its most vivid.
