Good news for Golfers !

We are currently advertising golf properties in 3 locations in SW France, (although more are planned).




The existing developments are at:

• Les Forges, near Menigoute (Deux Sèvres / Poitou Charentes)


• Souillac Golf & Country Club, (Lot, Midi-Pyrenees)


• Halcyon Resort, (Creuse, Limousin)

Visit packages are available at each of our complexes.   We are normally able (except July & August),
to arrange a stay on site in some of the accommodation as a discounted
price  .Slightly
different terms and conditions for each, as you would expect, but a
great way to try before you buy, it gives you the
opportunity to get a real feel for the complex, and perhaps enjoy a
round of golf !

Golf in France - A Guide to Ways of Playing

Stableford - The players score points on each hole according to their
score, the winner being the one whose total points are the highest at
the end of the round.


To calculate points (excluding handicap)
Bogey 1 point
Par 2 points
Birdie 3 points
Eagle 4 points
Albatross 5 points


To calculate points (including handicap)
Each player receives a
number of strokes equivalent to their handicap. These points are awarded
according to the degree of difficulty of the holes. (For example, a
player with a handicap of 10 receives 1 point on the 10 most difficult
holes, a player with a handicap of 20 receives 2 points on the 2 most
difficult holes and 1 point on the other 16 holes). The net scores are
recorded accordingly.




Matchplay - The game is played hole by hole. A hole is won by the
player who takes the least number of strokes on the hole. The match is
finished when one of the players has won more holes than there are left
to play.




Strokeplay - All stokes played are counted, and this can be played without handicap (brut) or with handicap (net).




Foursomes - Each team of two has a single ball in which play is
struck alternately by each of the partners. Only one ball is therefore
hit per team. One partner take the even tees, and the other the odd
tees.




Greensomes - At the start of each home each partner hits a ball. For
the 2nd stroke, they choose which ball they prefer, and take alternate
shots intil the end of that hole.




Fourball - The 2 partners each play a ball until the hole is
finished. The score to be counted will be the better of the 2 players.

Golf in France. Buy more than just a property - buy a lifestyle

Perhaps not seen as glamorous as Portugal or Spain, French golf holidays are extremely popular, particularly with travellers from the UK.



This is primarily as a result of the quality golf courses to be discovered, but a trip to South West France has so much added value to offer. You can of course rely on outstanding culture, art, gastronomy, history and scenery, which already make France the No 1 holiday destination in the world. Inevitably, these attractions are extremely appealing, particularly for the non-golfers.



All apartments, lodges, bungalows & houses are on or adjacent to quality golf courses. They also benefit from other leisure facilities, and are therefore ideal for sports enthusiasts or an active lifestyle.



It is perhaps worth bearing in mind that the next Ryder Cup in Europe (2018) will be in France, so interest in golf property in France is sure to increase during this decade. The Ryder Cup has a history approaching 100 years. Starting as the vision of a garden seeds salesman in the 1920's, the tournament gained significant momentum with the participation of Europe and a certain Seve Ballesteros in the 1980’s. 2018 will see the Ryder Cup make a historic return to the Continent in France at the Golf National.



What you are really buying here is a lifestyle. The benefit of an ideal holiday home, alongside a leading leisure facility, and a management package. In brief, a no hassle, trouble free ownership deal. No gardening worries, cleaning & changeovers handled, a fully managed package. You enjoy various shared facilities at each location, such as the clubhouse, restaurant, tennis courts & swimming pool, an opportunity to chill out and relax immediately upon arrival. There is also natural surveillance of your property without you worrying.



Discounted viewing visits available throughout most of the year via ourselves.
