Golf Courses in France
Two separate Kalos cruises of the French Riviera and the Rhine River regions visit superb golfing treasures of France, with their rosters of prestigious European courses including the following:
- Le Kempferhof in Strasbourg. In the heart of the Alsace region lies this Robert Von Hagge-designed course, ranked among continental Europe's best. Some of its holes have narrow, tree-lined fairways and small greens while others feature expansive landing areas, mounds instead of trees and generous greens. The treacherous 14th hole – a par 3 surrounded by water – is sure to give golfers plenty to talk about.
- Le Château at Golf de Terre Blanche near Cannes. Tucked away in the southeastern corner of Provence, this Dave Thomas-designed course winds its way through pine and oak forests, up to elevated tees with views of French villages and the rocky peaks of the Alpes-Maritimes. The course presents both technical challenges and charm, typified by the 6th hole where the green sits in the shadow of the course's namesake – Le Château.
- Gassin Golf & Country Club in St-Tropez. The opening of Gassin Golf Club in 2004 gave golfers yet another reason to visit St-Tropez. Nestled within a protected environmental area, this Gary Player design offers stunning views of the peninsula's four villages: Grimaud, Gassin, Ramatuelle and St-Tropez.
- Plus: Golf de St-Donat, Monte Carlo Golf Club
