Michel Gayon who designed Golf de Roquebrune

The golf course was designed by leading French course desinger, Michel Gayon and was opened for play in 1988.

In the same year, Marie and Gérard Delli-Zotti purchased Roquebrune sur Argens, a old sleepy vineyard property.

Their children Christelle and Jonathan, starting taking an interest in the name of the place “Le Vaudois” they discovered that the Vallée du Fournel had welcomed in 1205 the itinerant preachers of the Vaudois religion created in Lyon in 1173 by Pierre Valdès.

This fascination with the region’s history motivated the whole family to revive the property so much so that in 2004 the family proudly enjoyed the first harvest from their aptly-named ‘Château Vaudois’ estate.

Three years later in 2007, the Delli-Zotti’s purchased the Roquebrune Golf Course and began work to vastly improve the facility to the world-class standard it enjoys today.

Improvements included the 18 holes, addition of cart paths, the extension of the driving range and refurbishment of the golfers’ facilities – reception area, pro shop and changing rooms.  The interior of the clubhouse was also completely redesigned along with upgrading the restaurant.

Another milestone was in 2011 when the club opened its own hotel, Le Daya Hôtel & Spa.  With just 5 suites, in 2013 it became France’s smallest five-star hotel.

The successful decor of the room highlights the panoramic view of the golf greens in the bay of Saint Raphaël.

Each year, the club attracts more than 13,000 golfers.

Highlight on the golfing calendar is one of the biggest golfing events of the French Riviera and that is the hosting of the Delli-Zotti Pro-Am and held each year in June.

The Pro-Am is open to all with the following format: A Four Balls Best Ball. Each team consists of a professional and 3 amateurs. The ranking is done by adding the best 2 balls gross and net on each hole.
