The Eco-Responsible Management of Roquebrune Golf

The course at Roquebrune Golf is a true mosaic of natural and semi-natural habitats, covering approximately 54% of the total area. This diversity of habitats encourages the presence of many local species. In particular, there are oak forests, Mediterranean scrublands, wetlands, and meadows that are beneficial to biodiversity.

Among the species present on the site, some are protected, such as the Hermann’s Tortoise and the Ocellated Lizard, two emblematic species of the region that benefit from national action plans for their protection.

Roquebrune Golf implements a thoughtful water management system, essential in this Mediterranean region with limited rainfall. The golf course’s water points are meticulously maintained to ensure their longevity and prevent drying out. Additionally, retention ponds are used to collect rainwater and supply sensitive areas.

Since 2025, the golf course has complied with new environmental regulations prohibiting the use of phytosanitary products. Roquebrune Golf favors mechanical methods for maintaining the greens, fairways, and roughs, while upholding high playing standards. These practices aim to minimize environmental impact and preserve soil quality.

The golf course has committed to the Golf for Biodiversity program, which aims to better understand and promote natural heritage while preserving the biodiversity present on the grounds. This program is based on three levels of continuous improvement and certification, with Roquebrune Golf having already achieved the Silver label in 2022 thanks to its ongoing efforts in sustainable management.
