Golf in the Var

Golf courses of the Var - the best kept Secret! The Var, that pleasant green Departement lying to the west of theAlpes Maritimes - the bit you travel through between Marseille and Cannes on the train, or alternatively belt through on the Autoroute after Aix-en-Provence on your way to the fleshpots of the Cote D'Azur - luxuriates in an abundance of superb golf courses!

Yet surprisingly and most incredibly, British Golfers in the main have yet to discover this golfers paradise. Below this preamble you will find the first of three articles written by a passionate Var golfer, ex journalist, who is pleasurably making his way round the fourteen superb courses to be found in the Var.

Next 'Bogeyman', the pseudonym he works under, is preparing to tackle one, or perhaps both of the fantastic newly completed golf courses attached to the luxury Four Seasons Hotel at Terre Blanche, Fayence.

GREEN FEES!
Apparently until fairly recently UK golfers have been discouraged by the expense of a holiday - thinking the cost of golf holidays in "the South of France" would be exorbitantly expensive.

Nothing could be further from the truth, for a start green fees are quite often half the price than those of similar Mediterranean resorts in Spain, where for example green fees in Marbella are often around the €100 mark, way above those charged in the Var.

In addition accommodation and transport can all be so easily available at reasonable prices via the Internet. For example just look at the Var Villa Rentals page for the region, many close to Var golf courses, like Barbaroux, St. Endreol, Terres Blanches, Nans les Pins.
