Hopps Open de Provence

Pont Royal welcomes the Challenge Tour!

The European Challenge Tour will will take place to France at the Golf International de Pont Royal in 2023. The Open de Provence by Hopps will be from October the 5th to 8th of 2023 in Pont Royal, Mallemort de Provence, in the south of France

This year, the Challenge Tour will visit France on the Golf International de Pont Royal, one of the 3 French courses to host a professional European tournament in 2023.

Following trips to the Golf of Pléneuf-Val-André and the Golf of Le Vaudreuil in June, the stunning Golf International de Pont Royal will welcome the Challenge Tour from October the 5th to 8th of 2023.

The Golf International de Pont de Royal entertains the “Hopps Open de Provence” tournament for the 5th edition. It is used to European spar because it has been the host of an Alps Tour tournament for thirteen years.

The Seve Ballesteros-designed layout, which is the only course in France designed by the 50-time European Tour winner, opened in 1992 and is widely-acclaimed for its slick greens and highland holes which offer stunning views of the Luberon and Alpilles mountain ranges.

Set in pine woods in the commune of Mallemort, between Aix en Provence and Avignon, the picturesque layout is 30 minutes from both Marseille and Avignon airports.
