Domaine de la Forêt d'Orient
Troyes
Domaine de la Forêt d’Orient is a peaceful golf and spa resort near Troyes, making it a lovely choice for a France golf holiday with countryside, Champagne-region charm and easy-going resort comfort. Set in the Parc Naturel Régional de la Forêt d’Orient, the hotel sits among forest, lakes and open green space, giving golfers a calm setting that feels very different from busier coastal golf destinations. It is around 18km from Troyes and roughly two hours from Paris, so it works well for a short French golf break or a self-drive itinerary from the UK.
The on-site Golf de la Forêt d’Orient is an 18-hole, par-71 course measuring 6,232 metres. Designed by Jean-Manuel Rossi, it blends woodland, open plains and ponds across a varied but playable layout. There is also a practice area and 5-hole school course, which is useful for mixed-ability groups or golfers wanting to warm up before the main round.
Away from the course, the resort offers 78 quiet rooms, a bistronomic restaurant, Champagne bar, spa treatments and the Aqualis wellness area, so there is plenty of downtime after golf.
For golfers who want relaxed French golf, good food, nature and nearby Troyes for a bit of exploring, Domaine de la Forêt d’Orient is a very appealing option. It is best suited to couples, small groups and golfers who prefer a slower, countryside-style break over a packed multi-course itinerary.

About The Area
Troyes is a brilliant choice for golfers who want a France golf holiday with Champagne-region charm, historic streets and relaxed countryside golf. Set in the Aube department, the city is famous for its colourful half-timbered houses, narrow medieval lanes, churches, museums, local food and factory outlet shopping, making it ideal for a golf break with plenty to enjoy away from the course.
The standout nearby course is Golf de Troyes La Cordelière, around Chaource. This 18-hole, par-72 course measures 5,896 metres and sits on the former estate of the Counts Chandon de Briailles, with gently undulating fairways, ponds, mature trees and a peaceful forest-edge setting. It is scenic, traditional and a lovely fit for golfers who enjoy classic French parkland golf.
For extra variety, Golf de Troyes l’Ermitage offers another 18-hole, par-72 option in the Aube region, set in a wooded and hilly landscape with lakes and rolling fairways. It is a useful second round for those building a fuller Troyes golf itinerary.
Away from golf, Troyes works beautifully for Champagne touring, local gastronomy, cycling, sightseeing and slow evenings in the old town. The wider Aube en Champagne region promotes timber-framed heritage, religious sites, walking and cycling routes, outlet shopping, Champagne and local produce, so there is plenty to build around your rounds.
For UK golfers, Troyes is ideal as part of a tailor-made northern France golf holiday, either on its own or combined with Champagne, Burgundy or a wider self-drive route. Hashtag Golf Travel can help shape the right courses, hotels and travel plan.
