Charmeil: Surrounded by the towering Alps. A very pretty course, with golf to match the scenery.

Grenoble Bresson: Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the world-famous American architect, it is technically demanding and wonderfully strategic. You will really enjoy its setting, but you need to be very level-headed to master it.

Correncon en Vercors: Playing under 6,000 meters from the championship tees, but defends itself with tight fairways, sharp doglegs and some holes that play sharply uphill, like the No. 1 handicap hole, No. 10.

Golf Club de Lyon: Lyon Golf Club offers two excellent 18-hole golf course. Les Sangliers is the tougher, longer and more demanding layout for mid and low handicappers, while its companion course, Les Brocards may give you a gentler outing.
