Châteauform' Domaine de Châteauneuf
Brignoles
Châteauform’ Domaine de Châteauneuf is a peaceful Provence base for golfers who want sunshine, scenery and a quieter South of France golf holiday. Set in Nans-les-Pins, at the foot of the Sainte-Baume massif, the estate is built around an elegant 18th-century country house with a relaxed Provençal feel. It is best suited to golfers who prefer countryside calm over busy resort towns, with Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and Toulon all within roughly an hour by car.
The big draw is Golf Sainte Baume, an 18-hole course right by the estate. Designed by Robert Berthet in 1988, the course plays through undulating Provençal terrain, with pine trees, green oaks, garrigue, streams and water hazards adding plenty of variety. It measures 5,982 metres and plays to a par 72, making it suitable for a wide range of golfers while still asking for careful positioning and a tidy short game.
For a France golf break, this area works well because it gives you more than one style of trip. You can enjoy relaxed golf at Sainte Baume, add nearby Provence courses such as Bastide de la Salette or Barbaroux, then spend time exploring hill villages, local markets, vineyards and the wider Provence Verte region.
For UK golfers looking for a warm, scenic alternative to the usual coastal golf resorts, Châteauform’ Domaine de Châteauneuf offers a lovely mix of Provençal character, peaceful surroundings and accessible golf in the South of France.

About The Area
Brignoles is a lovely base for golfers who want a Provence golf holiday with sunshine, countryside and a more authentic French feel than the busy coastal resorts. Set in the heart of Provence Verte, the town is surrounded by vineyards, wooded hills, medieval villages and classic Provençal scenery, while still being within reach of the French Riviera, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Toulon. Provence Verte describes the region as the “green heart of Provence”, with 43 villages, unspoilt nature and a setting away from the busiest seaside crowds.
The main golfing highlight is Barbaroux Golf, Hotel & Spa, close to Brignoles. This 18-hole course sits in a sunny green valley and is known for being technical, strategic and beautifully natural, with hotel, spa, restaurant and clubhouse facilities beside the greens. It is a strong choice for golfers who like the idea of staying close to the course while still having Provençal towns and villages nearby.
For extra variety, Golf Sainte Baume in Nans-les-Pins is another excellent option within the wider region. Its 18-hole, par-72 course measures 5,982 metres and plays through rolling ground, pine trees, streams and wild scrubland at the foot of the Sainte Baume mountains.
Away from golf, Brignoles is ideal for vineyard visits, local markets, hilltop villages, long lunches and relaxed exploring. For UK golfers, it works brilliantly as part of a tailor-made South of France golf break, combining great-value inland Provence, quality golf and easy access to the coast.
