Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to play Golf de Saint Martin de Crau to avoid the heat and crowds?

We highly recommend visiting in spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October). You'll find the course in prime condition, the temperatures are perfect for walking, and you'll largely dodge the intense summer heat and tourist rush that can make rounds less enjoyable.

What's the actual playing experience like at Saint Martin de Crau - is it a real challenge or more relaxed?

Don't expect a brutal championship test; this course offers a genuinely enjoyable round that's more about strategic placement than raw power. The fairways are generally forgiving, but the greens have some subtle undulations that will keep your short game honest. It's a great course for a relaxed yet engaging day.

Are there any specific holes at Golf de Saint Martin de Crau that truly stand out or offer a unique challenge?

We particularly love the stretch around holes 7, 8, and 9, which really showcase the course's character with some clever water features and well-placed bunkers. The par-3 8th, in particular, demands a precise shot over water to a well-guarded green, making it a memorable moment in your round.

How does Golf de Saint Martin de Crau compare in terms of value and a truly local French golf experience?

This course offers excellent value, especially compared to some of the more high-profile-and pricier-courses in Provence. You'll get a genuine taste of French golf culture here, often playing alongside friendly locals, which is a far more authentic experience than you might find elsewhere.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Saint Martin de Crau, especially for a post-round meal or drink?

The clubhouse here is unpretentious and welcoming, exactly what you want after a round. We highly recommend grabbing a casual lunch on the terrace-the local specialties are always fresh, and it's the perfect spot to soak in the Provençal atmosphere with a cold drink.
