Château de Taulane- Hotel & Golf Course
The Hotel
High in the mountains, on a broad flat plain above
the Cote d'Azur, there sits a millionaires hideaway. Once inside
the thick stone walls of the chateau the real world seems an eternity
away. The Chateau de Taulane has everything you could need for a
sojourn in privacy and exclusivity: golf course, spa, swimming pool,
a truly gastronomic restaurant (the chef purchases more truffles
per year than anyone else in the world!). A serene establishment.
Bedrooms are either in the chateau itself, the dépendances,
or there are four, fully equipped, two-bedroomed villas alongside
the 1st fairway.
Should you not wish to drive from Nice airport we
can arrange helicopter transfers for you and to outlying golf courses. |
The Course
| |
Chateau
de Taulane
Architect: G. Player.
18 holes: 6423m: par 72.
The Taulane course is a beautiful course in a beautiful
setting. On a reasonably level plateau at 1,000m above sea-level
the air is cool and clear (plus the ball flies that little bit further...).
Gary Player has shaped the holes wonderfully to fit the terrain
and the addition of several lakes around the course means that danger
lurks in many corners. |

Other courses to play
Should you wish to venture out from the sheltered
enclave of the Chateau the course at Grasse (Claux Amic) is roughly half-an-hour
away.
|
Grasse
Architect : J-P. Fourès.
18 holes: 6021m: par 72.
High above Cannes and overlooking Grasse and
the Med. Reasonably hilly with superb views - now back in prime
condition. |

Alternatively, there is the magnificent drive through the
gorges to St. Endréol.
| St. Endréol
Architect: M. Gayon.
18 holes: 6219m: par 72.
Set back from the coast in the cool, pink hills.
Spectacular holes that rise and fall through the first folds of
the distant Alpilles. |

The
Area
This
region of Provence is all mountains, gorges, rivers, lakes and pines.
Wonderful scenery in which to just drive out and get lost for the
day. The local town of Castellane has a few extra options for dining
- should truffles and foie gras everyday prove too rich for you!
Heading downhill, you will come to the scented town of Grasse where
the majority of France's perfumeries are based.
