Did your child come to the introduction session?
The next step is now
Groups are formed for the whole season, and each one is kept small so the coach has time for every child. The first session takes place in September.
What your child will really do
Aiming and scoring
Chipping and putting: where children improve the fastest.
Playing the real course
Not just the driving range — the real course, with real flags.
Making friends
A true team sport: they improve together and compete against other golf schools.

Parents’ questions
From what age?
From 5 to 18. Groups are organised by age and level — never mixed at random.
Do we need to buy clubs?
No. Clubs and balls are provided all year round. Comfortable clothing and trainers are all your child needs.
My child came to the introduction session: which group should I choose?
The Beginner group, for the vast majority of children — it genuinely starts from scratch. If in doubt, call us on +33 4 65 100 900: our coach has seen your child play and will tell you what he thinks.
My child missed the introduction session — is it too late?
Not at all. Enrolment remains open, and your child can come and watch a session before you decide: just call us and we will arrange it with the coach.
How do I pay?
By card online, in a single payment, or at the Domaine reception before the first session (card or cash). You receive an invoice either way.
Isn’t golf a little dangerous?
Every group is supervised by a state-qualified golf professional, with well-spaced hitting bays and safety rules taught from the very first session.
What about the school holidays?
The school does not run during the French school holidays, nor in December and January. The full calendar is provided on enrolment.
They tried it and loved it?
Enrol them for the season.
Every Saturday at Domaine Ribiera in Niozelles, near Forcalquier — between Manosque and Digne.
