Very
close to the historic city of
Carcassonne, a
world heritage site, this 18 hole, par 71 course is gently undulating, with
technical challenges to keep the best players interested, but nothing too
daunting for the beginner. The stream that crosses the course, the water
obstacles and carefully sited bunkers add spice to the game.
The 9th hole has been named by several golf magazines as the most original in
Europe.
While you’re in the area, try the great wines of the Corbières, Fitou or
Minervois and the culinary specialities of the Cathar region.
