Sea-green coloured fresh golf courses…
27 Avr 2006

In Rhône-Alpes, several golf courses, among the most beautiful, flirt with the great Alpine lakes. When the greens marry with the pure and deep waters, it is another kind of paradise.

Our steps, or rather let’s say our caddies, take us to Divonne this week, to this beautiful eighteen hole golf course, created in 1931 on the first buttresses of the Jura foothills, at 550 meters altitude and on a 60 ha wide domain, overlooking the Alpes range and Mont-Blanc.

It is an integral part of the Resort du Domaine de Divonne with its casino and its four star hotel, member of the Leading Hotels of the World. So you can stay there and take advantage of the six restaurants of the resort.

The gastronomic restaurant La Terrasse , for instance, the Lèman , a beautiful Art Deco brasserie well known for its Sunday morning brunches and the Pavillon located in the Club House so that you don’t have to leave your irons for too long a time!

To discover this exceptional domain, you will be able to benefit from the Golf Classic stay, which proposes; for 140 euros per person and per day, 2 nights in the Grand Hôtel , including breakfast, a green-fee for the golf course and free entrance to the relaxation space of the Grand Hôtel with hammam, cold baths, Jacuzzi and a fitness room.

In Aix les Bains, one of the oldest golf courses in France, created in 1895, you can play on an undulating and very technical terrain with numerous water features and a stream, the Tillet snaking along the fairways.

Thanks to a particularly friendly climate, it is possible to play all year long. You will also profit from a very sophisticated Club House, built around 19th century houses and an old mill with paddle wheel.

Three golfing days are proposed for 96 euros in the Golf Pass des Deux Lacs between the Bourget lake and the two golf courses of Annecy, but you must absolutely play all three golf courses.
