Golfy was created in 1990 as the first golf club network in France. Throughout its 34-year existence, Golfy has continually grown, and in 2024 Golfy proudly brings together 180 courses in five European countries – France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland.

The company was founded in 1990 by Alain Jeanjean with the ambition of making playing golf more straightforward and assisting in the development of golf clubs, particularly those in France.

One area of France you might not think of visiting to play golf – but definitely should – is the south. Not only is the south of France littered with beautiful places to visit, outstanding gastronomy, and breathtaking coastlines, but it’s also an amazing destination for a golf break, golf holiday, or golf road trip.

Traversing through the picturesque regions of Limousin, Pyrenees, Occitania, and Auvergne will provide you with unforgettable memories both on and off the course. Southern France is known for its temperate climate which makes it an ideal spot for golfers to visit all year round. With a fair test of golf awaiting for golfers of all abilities, which golf courses are you going to tick off in the south of France?

Beginning in Limousin and the Pyrenees, both regions are swarmed with fantastic golf courses including Limoges Saint-Lazare, Golf de la Marterie, Golf et Ecolodges du Sauternais, and Golf Country Club de Bigorre. Limousin and the Pyrenees are extremely undulating regions, Limousin is very green while snow-peaked mountains are more common in the Pyrenees. Both regions are loved by sports enthusiasts, including cyclists, with critical stages of the Tour de France unfolding here.

Heading into either Occitania or Auvergne, depending on your preference, you can either continue in the countryside by venturing into Auvergne or make your way towards the coast in Occitania. Being the neighboring region of Limousin and the Pyrenees, Auvergne is extremely similar, with excellent gastronomy, culture, and nature. On the French southwest coast, you’ll find Occitania which is a beautiful region where mountains practically roll into the sea. Both regions are home to amazing golf courses you don’t want to miss, including Golf de Falgos, Hôtel Golf Fontcaude, Golf de Massane, Golf de Saint-Loup, Golf de Saint Cyprien, Golf du Gévaudan, and Golf de Haute Auvergne.

You can enjoy all of the golf, history, cuisine, architecture, and scenery of southern France for even cheaper than you might think.
