GREEN FEES
The 18 HOLE course at the Domaine du Val de Sorne is one of the 20 most beautiful golf courses in France. Situated in the Jura region, at the foot of the Revermont and just a few minutes from Lons-Le-Saunier, the Val de Sorne course provides a true test for golfers of all levels. The golf complex (Par 72, 6000 metres, FFG approved) also features a compact 6-hole and practice and training facilities. Open all year round, the course intelligently exploits the potential offered by the terrain’s natural environment and resources. Well guarded greens, natural water hazards, strategic wooded areas and bunkers, and diversified hilly terrain all come into play.
Designed by architect Hugues Lambert, the course provides plenty of technical challenges, and some local lore. Thus, the 14th hole, named "des 4 clochers", offers a grandiose view of the surroundings and the four bell towers in the neighbouring 4 towns.
A moment of pure wellness to be savoured, since the 16th hole, just off in the distance, certainly lives up to its reputation ….merciless....Good luck!!!
A remarkably well kept course - a question of expertise. FOCUS ON A GOLF DOCTOR
Our greens keeper, Dominique Baudouin and his staff, lend their utmost care to the course and its environment. Their long hours of patient and thorough work, attention and reactivity to weather phenomenon, upkeep and daily preparation of the course, whether for ordinary days or special sports events, such as the Grand Prix, ProAms and other competitions, all call on scientific techniques.
The greens keeping staff benefits from the technical support of S.E.V.E and its expertise in all fields concerning eco-systems, biology and chemistry.
Jean-Louis Barberousse, the creator of SEVE, makes available his considerable talent for golf courses both in France and abroad. Armed with his expertise, he anticipates, corrects, improves and suggests to green keepers the best methods, always favouring so-called soft methods that protect the eco-system, with cunning approaches and recipes of which he alone maintains the secret...
But be careful, if you should happen to come across him during a round, his inexhaustible passion for his art may make him start off on a conversation that is just as viral as your own passion for this great game.
