Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Gers?

We always recommend late spring (May-June) or early autumn (September-October) for Gers. You'll find the weather pleasantly warm but not scorching, perfect for a full day on the links, and the courses are in prime condition. Plus, you avoid the peak summer tourist rush, meaning more relaxed tee times and easier access to local restaurants.

What's the typical golf experience like on Gers' courses? Are they all similar?

Don't expect championship links here; Gers offers a charming mix of parkland and gently rolling courses, often integrated beautifully into the Gascon countryside. You'll encounter tree-lined fairways and some strategic water hazards, but generally, they are very playable and enjoyable for all handicaps. We particularly love how many courses offer stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and sunflower fields.

Can I build an entire golf trip around Gers, or is it better combined with another region?

While Gers has 8 solid courses, we think it shines brightest as a relaxed, multi-day golf escape rather than a week-long, intense golf marathon. It's perfect for a long weekend or 3-4 days of golf, allowing you ample time to explore the local markets and enjoy the incredible food and wine. If you're looking for more variety, consider pairing it with a few days in the nearby Pyrenees or the Atlantic coast.

Beyond the golf, what's the local atmosphere and culture like in Gers?

Gers is the heart of Gascony, so expect a wonderfully authentic, unhurried French experience. You'll find charming medieval villages, vibrant local markets brimming with foie gras and Armagnac, and a deep appreciation for good food and wine. We always tell friends to embrace the slow pace and indulge in the regional specialties - it's a huge part of the Gers appeal.

What's the typical cost for a round of golf in Gers, and is it good value?

You'll find Gers offers excellent value compared to some of France's more famous golf regions. Green fees generally range from €45-€70, making it very accessible for a quality round. The courses are well-maintained, and the relaxed atmosphere means you often feel like you have the place to yourself, which is a real bonus.
