Just 30 minutes from Cannes and the Riviera beaches, on 300ha at the heart of Provence, lies Terre Blanche, a fusing of beauty and luxury. Aside from the Four Seasons Hotel & Spa, golf is at the heart of the Terre Blanche experience. Launched in 2004, the two championship par-72 golf courses, ranking among the most prestigious in Europe, offer golfers of all levels a significant challenge. British architect Dave Thomas is the brain behind the design concept that is based around the beauty of nature

Le Château
This 6,616m course provides a magnificent challenge that will intrigue ambitious golfers. The bunkers, greens and flag positions enable players to experience the true conditions of a championship course. The course is accessible to all golfers with a maximum handicap of 35.

Le Riou
Facing the Provençal medieval villages of Callian, Tourrettes and Fayence, Le Riou course is a hilly 6,005m technical course requiring strategy and precision. Reserved for club members, their guests and clients of the Four Seasons Resort, the course is also the venue for an Open of the Ladies European Tour Access Series.

The variety of exciting challenges and the spectacular setting produce an unforgettable golfing experience on these thrilling golf courses. Visitors may choose between four different categories of membership. Complementing the golf courses, the clubhouse bar and restaurant – with terraces overlooking the golf – offer exclusive advantages for club members and their guests, along with special rates on many services. Visitors can book green fees at the pro shop, and attractive packages exist for hotel guests at the Four Seasons Hotel & Spa.

Practice makes perfect
With the opening of the Golf Performance Centre in November 2010, Terre Blanche has raised the bar to offer Europe’s most advanced golf training. Open all year-round, the centre hosts a David Leadbetter Golf Academy, providing advanced coaching for beginners as well as for tour professionals. With 32 rooftop practice mats and 32 covered practice mats at ground level, two putting greens, two chipping greens, bunkers, a meeting room and a fitness room, it offers all-encompassing services. Facilities also include the scientific expertise of Biomecaswing, managed by world-renowned osteopath Jean-Jacques Rivet.

The Château course can be booked for events, with sports and logistics management provided by the club. A superb meeting room is available for up to 25 people, fully equipped with Wi-Fi, plasma screens and conference call facilities, making it a perfect location to organise your own private golf tournament, business conference or gala dinner.

Nestling within Terre Blanche, the five-star Four Seasons Hotel & Spa – ranked among the world’s best hotels and spas – offers 115 luxurious suites, award-winning dining, a grand infinity pool,  as well as the owner’s museum-worthy private collection of modern art. The suites and villas are distributed over the terraced gardens with dry stone walls, terracotta, scents of lavender and wild thyme, creating an authentic Provençal village subtly etched into the hillside. All suites comprise a private lounge and terrace, a separate bedroom, a spacious bathroom and a working area with high-tech connections.

Private and secure
The opportunity to build one’s own villa at Terre Blanche is a dream that can become reality.  The pleasure of enjoying the calm and Provençal sunshine in total tranquillity; this is the quintessential definition of luxury and excellence. The second phase of land development is now marketed. Plots of land are available in preserved wooded areas with views over the Esterel hills and the medieval villages perched on their shoulders.

Properties and plots are still available, so becoming a property owner and/or resident at Terre Blanche – as well as being a member of this exceptional international golf resort and community – is still possible.
