Twenty years old and eighteen holes!

The Corrençon-en Vercors golf course, perched at 1 100 metres alt., is one of the most beautiful mountain golf courses in Europe. This three hundred and fifty inhabitant resort has accepted the challenge to complement its winter sport activities with a golf course magnificently integrated into an amazing landscape. Look back over twenty years of success.

Golf de Corrençon

It is very close to the high plateaus of Vercors: the biggest Nature Reserve of France. A thick wall of white limestone, ravaged by erosion which has sculpted spectacular landscapes between the Isère valley in the North and the Diois, – almost the south of France – in the South, vertiginous cliffs, needles, from the starting point of the course the stunning environment will do everything to distract you.

This lovely course, where the ski champion, Carole Montillet, plays, is above all a family but that does not exclude either the difficulty of the course, nor the well-being one can feel when playing in this intact natural environment which has protected its assets.

As soon as the winter snows melt and cross-country skiing stops on the fairways, the greens are taken over till the end of autumn. Only the cowbells of the cattle, which graze very close, accompany the concentration of golfers.

Golf de Corrençon

This little jewel is very well surrounded. With the Hôtel du Golf, a family home installed there since the beginning of the 20th century and transformed over the years by the family Sauvajon whose chef has gained a star Michelin in 2008, confirmed in 2009.

After the course, one can also enjoy the swimming pool and the garden in a delightful mountain decor. And profit from the Clarines hotel which made the most of its renovation to install a Spa. Paradise at the end of the irons!
