With the publication of a book suggesting that golf was born in France and not Scotland you may be forgiven for expecting a long list of French golfing champions. In fact other than the 400+ golf courses in France there is little evidence of this fantastic claim of heritage. Golf in France is popular and the courses superb, yet where are the sporting heroes? The most famous, or infamous, is Jean Van de Velde whose finest hour was leading the 1999 British Open at Carnoustie, however the 18th hole is one that he will not forget in a hurry and within a few strokes he had slipped back out of contention. The victor on that day was a Scot! It is the courses which are the true mark of the standard of golf in France. Ranging from the open windswept links on the Normandy coast to the testing tight tree-lined fairways of Le Kempferhof in the East; the demands of Medoc and the not so demanding but majestic Royal Parc Evian and finally the affluent sun-drenched parkland paradise of Royal Mougins where Robert Von Hagge again has designed a course to intimidate the best. Golfing Elite recommends the best courses in France to its members and provides access to the world's most famous and exclusive golf courses.
