Champagne and Burgundy is golf wrapped in two of France's most storied wine regions — chalk hills and grand maisons in the north, the slow rivers and grand cru slopes of the Côte d'Or in the south. It is a touring destination above all: a handful of well-spaced clubs threaded between Reims, Épernay, Dijon and Beaune, each within easy reach of a cellar, a market town or a château hotel.

The golf here rewards a measured game. Parkland fairways run through farmland and forest, courses such as Reims-Champagne and Beaune Levernois sit close to the towns that give them their names, and the pace is unhurried throughout. It suits couples and small groups who want their rounds bookended by long lunches and proper evenings.

We have arranged France golf since 1981. Every itinerary is hand-built and hand-priced around your dates, your group and the courses you want to play.

Why play golf in Champagne and Burgundy

  • Two wine regions, one trip — chalk-country golf around Reims and Épernay, then the grand cru slopes of Burgundy around Dijon and Beaune.
  • Parkland variety — mature, walkable courses set in farmland and forest, from Champagne Golf Club to Norges Dijon Bourgogne.
  • Genuine touring scale — clubs spread from Laon and Reims in the north to Mâcon and Bourg-en-Bresse in the south, ideal for a drive-and-play route.
  • Golf as the day's spine, not its whole — rounds that leave room for cellars, markets and long Burgundian lunches.
  • Château and small-hotel stays — base yourself at Château de Chailly or Domaine de Roncemay and play out from there.
  • Hand-picked, not packaged — we know these clubs and choose the pairings that actually work on the ground.

The courses you’ll play

Burgundy's standout is Golf de Château de Chailly at Pouilly-en-Auxois, laid out around a Renaissance château with the building itself framing several holes. Closer to Dijon, Norges Dijon Bourgogne Golf Club and Quetigny Grand Dijon Golf Club give you accessible, well-kept parkland near the city, while Beaune Levernois Golf Club sits on the doorstep of the wine capital itself. South of the Côte, Chalon-sur-Saône Golf Club at Châtenoy-en-Bresse and Chateau d'Avoise Golf Club at Montchanin round out the region.

In the north, Reims-Champagne Golf Club at Gueux, Champagne Golf Club at Villers-Agron-Aiguizy and L'Ailette Golf Club near Laon make a natural cluster among the vineyards. We pair courses to your route so the driving stays short and the golf stays the point.

Where you’ll stay

Two hotels anchor most Burgundy itineraries. Hôtel Golf Château de Chailly at Pouilly-en-Auxois puts you inside a moated château with its own course on the grounds — the easiest place to wake up, play and stay put. Domaine de Roncemay Hotel at Aillant-sur-Tholon offers the same play-from-the-door appeal a little further west, with its golf club alongside.

In Champagne, base yourself near Épernay: the Hostellerie la Briqueterie is the refined choice among the vineyards, while the Hotel Ibis Épernay Centre Ville is a straightforward, central option for shorter stays or larger groups. We match the base to your route, your budget and the courses you most want to play.

Best time to play golf in Champagne and Burgundy

Champagne and Burgundy are an inland, continental proposition, so this is a summer game — roughly May to September. Late spring and early autumn are the sweet spots: long daylight, settled fairways and the vineyards at their most photogenic, with the Burgundy harvest livening up the Côte d'Or from late September.

High summer brings the warmest, driest golf and the busiest wine calendar, so book ahead if you want the better tee times and hotel rooms. Winters here are cool and often wet — courses can be soft, daylight is short and some clubs run reduced hours — so we steer trips firmly into the warmer half of the year and build your dates around it.

A sense of Champagne and Burgundy

History & heritage

Few corners of France carry this much history per mile. Reims is crowned by its Gothic cathedral, the coronation church of French kings, while the great Champagne houses line the chalk tunnels beneath Épernay's Avenue de Champagne. Laon's hilltop old town and cathedral command the plains to the north.

South in Burgundy, Dijon's medieval and Renaissance centre recalls the powerful Dukes of Burgundy, and Beaune's Hôtel-Dieu — the famous polychrome-roofed Hospices — anchors the wine capital. Châteaux dot the Auxois countryside around Pouilly-en-Auxois. It is a landscape where a morning's golf and an afternoon's history sit comfortably in the same day.

Food & wine

This is one of the world's great eating and drinking regions, and it shapes every itinerary. Champagne speaks for itself — the houses and growers around Reims and Épernay pour the originals — while Burgundy's Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune produce some of the most coveted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on earth, with Beaune at the heart of it.

The table matches the cellar: Burgundian classics like boeuf bourguignon, coq au vin, jambon persillé and Époisses cheese, plus Bresse poultry from the south around Bourg-en-Bresse. We can line up cellar visits and tables near your hotel so the wine country and the golf course feel like one trip, not two.

Beyond the fairways

Non-golfers and rest days are well served. In Champagne, tour the chalk cellars beneath Épernay and Reims, visit Reims Cathedral, or climb to Laon's walled old town. The Burgundy canal and the Auxois hills around Château de Chailly invite gentle cycling and walking.

Further south, Dijon rewards a slow wander through its old quarter, Beaune's Hospices and ramparts make an easy afternoon, and the vineyard villages of the Côte d'Or string together a classic wine drive. Markets across the region — Dijon, Beaune, Mâcon — are an outing in themselves. We build half-days and full rest days into the schedule around the rounds you choose.

Getting around & exploring

A hire car is essential here — the clubs are spread across open countryside and the joy of the trip is the drive between vines, villages and tee times. Distances are moderate and the roads are quiet, with the A26 and A31 linking the north and the autoroute running south past Dijon and Beaune toward Mâcon.

From a Burgundy base such as Château de Chailly or Beaune you can reach most Côte d'Or courses inside an hour; the Champagne cluster around Reims, Gueux and Laon works best as its own leg. We plan your route so the driving is short between each round and your hotel sits sensibly among the courses you are playing.

Getting there

The region is reached overland from the main French gateways: Paris is the usual entry point, with Reims well under two hours by car or fast train, and Dijon and Beaune sitting on the TGV line south. Several travellers prefer to drive from the Channel, with Reims and Champagne a straightforward run down.

We arrange your golf, hotels, transfers and tee times as a complete ground package. Flights are a separate, ATOL-protected add-on that we are happy to book alongside your trip — they are never bundled in. Tell us your preferred airport and dates and we will build the routing around them.

Good to know

  • Ground-only by design — your itinerary covers golf, stays, transfers and tee times; flights are a separate ATOL-protected add-on, never included.
  • Hire a car — courses are spread across the countryside; a vehicle is the practical and the pleasurable choice.
  • Best months are May to September — peak spring and early autumn; winters are cool, often wet and quieter on the courses.
  • Book wine experiences early — cellar visits and the best tables fill fast in summer and around the Burgundy harvest.
  • We are NOT ABTA — Golf Planet Holidays holds ATOL (flights only), PTS and IATA accreditation.
  • Hand-built since 1981 — every trip is curated and priced around your group, your dates and the courses you want to play.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in Champagne and Burgundy — answers to the questions our golfers ask most.

How long is LeShuttle crossing time to France

The Eurotunnel Le Shuttle crossing from Folkestone to Calais takes approximately 35 minutes — one of the quickest ways to reach continental Europe. This makes Northern France, and Le Touquet in particular, one of the most convenient golf destinations from the UK. The total journey from London to Le Touquet is under 2.5 hours door to door. Trains run frequently and you can take your car, making it a seamless experience for golfers who prefer driving to their destination.

Where should I play golf in France?

There are more than 700 golf courses in France. As first steps we would recommend Northern France. There are ten great courses here.  Chat with us about the various choices if you wish to venture further afield.

Is it easy to get around in France?

Getting around France is straightforward. Self-driving is the most popular option — if you've come via Le Shuttle, you already have your car. Trains are excellent for city-to-city travel, particularly from Paris to Bordeaux (2 hours on the TGV). Within golf regions like the Algarve or Brittany, a hire car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. We include all airport or station transfers in our packages and can arrange inter-course transfers, so you're never left without options.

Is France good for golf groups?

France is a superb destination for golf groups and societies. The variety of courses — from links at Le Touquet to parkland in the Loire Valley to clifftop courses in Brittany — gives you genuine choice. French resorts are experienced hosting golf groups, and the combination of excellent golf, great food and fine wine makes for an outstanding social trip. We specialise in French golf tours for groups of all sizes and can design a multi-course itinerary with accommodation, transfers and tee times arranged end to end.

Do all the golf courses in France have buggies?

Most good golf courses in France have buggies available, though it varies by venue. Le Touquet's championship courses offer buggies; in Brittany and Normandy, availability depends on the specific course. We always check buggy availability when booking your tee times and confirm in advance. If buggy access is essential for your group — whether for accessibility reasons or preference — just let us know and we'll ensure your selected courses can accommodate you. France's gentler courses can often be walked comfortably.

Is France expensive for golf?

France offers excellent value for golf, particularly compared to the UK. Green fees at top courses like Le Touquet range from €70–130, while many excellent regional courses charge €40–80. Accommodation, food and wine are generally very good value by British standards — particularly outside Paris. A short break combining two to three rounds of golf, quality accommodation and wonderful food typically costs less in France than equivalent quality in Southern England. Northern France is especially competitive on price given its proximity to the UK.
