Golf in Harmony with Nature
Set amidst a vibrant and unspoilt landscape, our club is committed to preserving the beauty of the natural world. We believe that caring for nature is the key to ensuring its future – and to offering our members a truly exceptional golfing experience in a healthy, thriving, and sustainable environment.
A Recognised Commitment
Our club has been awarded the Silver Label under the “Golf for Biodiversity” programme – an official recognition of our eco-responsible approach.
This label is granted by the French Golf Federation in partnership with the National Museum of Natural History, with the aim of achieving excellence in the understanding, preservation, and promotion of golf’s natural heritage, both in terms of flora and fauna.
Regular initiatives to inform and raise awareness about the preservation of our plant and wildlife heritage are also carried out within the club.
Protected Biodiversity
Our natural areas – meadows, woodland, ponds – are managed in a differentiated way to encourage the flourishing of local wildlife and plant life:
Beehives installed along the course, producing natural honey with no chemical treatment
Presence of protected species: nesting birds, amphibians, pollinating insects
Responsible maintenance of woodland and ancient trees to preserve ecosystems, with numerous ageing habitats established
Differentiated management of rough areas
Creation of vegetated rafts on our water features
A Living, Evolving Commitment
Our approach is guided by specialist ecologists who help us:
Monitor and record the rich diversity of local wildlife and plants
Recommend practical measures for continual improvement
Work alongside our greenkeeping team, providing training and fostering ongoing adaptation
Sustainability at the Heart of Course Care
We maintain our course with an unwavering focus on reducing environmental impact:
Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient equipment
Dramatically reducing chemical treatments, favouring beneficial fungi and natural biostimulants
Sanding, aeration, and precision mowing to protect soil health
Planting drought-resistant, low-water grasses to ensure year-round quality
Smart, Sustainable Water Management
Since 2022, we have invested in advanced irrigation technology to protect precious water resources:
Targeted watering only where the game demands it
Individual sprinkler control for maximum efficiency
Significant cuts in water usage
Rainwater capture in our lakes and ponds to replenish supplies naturally
