France Golf Tour from Australia
A hosted 14-day golf and Australian war heritage journey through France, Belgium, and Switzerland.
Fairways & Frontlines is built for Australian golfers who want more than tee times: championship courses, premium stays, and the Western Front places that shaped Australia's story.
March 2026 A France golf tour built around both the course and the country
Many France golf tours focus only on the next round. This one starts with the golf, then adds the reason Australian travellers keep returning to northern France: the Western Front, the memorials, the villages, the food, and the people who still remember Australia.
The itinerary begins and ends in Paris and spends most of the journey in France, with Belgium and Switzerland included because they complete the golf and heritage story. It is a golf tour from Australia in the practical sense too: Australian hosts, AUD pricing, clear pre-tour communication, and a group size small enough to be personal.
