Glacier Rocca Serra Trophy

Golf de Spérone

Corse, France

Golf de Spérone is an 18-hole championship course located near Bonifacio in southern Corsica, designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Senior. Stretching 6,106 meters, the course is set across 75 hectares of meticulously maintained terrain within dramatic natural landscape. The course is celebrated for its spectacular setting along the Tyrrhenian coast, featuring breathtaking views spanning from the Bonifacio cliffs to the Lavezzi islands and Sardinia on clear days. The signature 16th hole is particularly iconic, requiring players to drive over the sea—a distinctive feature that defines the course's character. The layout demands both audacity and precision, combining Mediterranean maquis, sea cliffs, and mountain terrain to create technically challenging greens that appeal to both amateur and experienced golfers. The course hosts several annual competitions including the Grand Prix de Spérone (April) and the Mid-Amateur and Senior Trophy (October). Facilities include a clubhouse with the U Sperun restaurant offering panoramic sea views, a pro shop, practice areas, and instruction programs led by resident pro Marc Aurele Simonpietri. The course accommodates junior development through a weekly youth academy program.
