France has a very varied climate with the North of France being relatively similar to England and the South enjoying amazing summers which can make for some unforgettable golfing trips. Typically a more popular time to go is from May - June when the courses are starting to enjoy the sunshine and growth and also benefit from being a little quieter before the summer holidays where more tourists can gather.

France has a total of 703 golf courses, the majority reside in the Northern & Southern regions and some of the best include Le Golf National, Terre Blanche, Golf De Fontainebleau and Le Chateau de Taulane.
