Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Golf de Gassin without the crowds?

We always recommend visiting in late spring (May-early June) or early autumn (September-October). You'll enjoy fantastic weather, the course will be in prime condition, and you'll avoid the intense summer heat and the Saint-Tropez tourist crush. The views over the bay are especially stunning during these shoulder seasons.

What kind of challenge can I expect at Golf de Gassin?

This Robert Trent Jones Sr. design offers a classic, strategic challenge with plenty of elevation changes and well-placed bunkers. You'll need to think your way around, especially on the back nine where the views can be distracting. It's a fair test for all handicaps, but don't expect an easy stroll.

Are there any specific holes at Gassin I should look forward to?

Absolutely, the views are a major highlight, especially from holes like the 13th and 14th, which offer breathtaking panoramas of the Bay of Saint-Tropez. The par-3 17th is also a standout, demanding a precise shot over water with the Mediterranean sparkling in the distance. You'll want your camera ready.

What's the typical cost for a round at Golf de Gassin, and what's included?

Expect green fees to be on the higher side, reflecting its prime location near Saint-Tropez and the quality of the course. While prices vary by season, you're generally looking at around 100-150 euros for 18 holes. Buggies are available for rent, and we recommend one given the course's hilly terrain.

What's the atmosphere like at the clubhouse and facilities at Golf de Gassin?

The clubhouse at Gassin is elegant but welcoming, offering a fantastic terrace where you can enjoy a post-round drink with those incredible views. The pro shop is well-stocked, and the practice facilities are excellent for warming up. It's a refined experience without feeling overly stuffy.
