Golf des volcans, Golf course in Orcines, France

Golf des Volcans is a golf facility in Orcines with three courses: the 18-hole Les Bruyères (par 72, 6,495 m from black tees), the compact 9-hole Le Pariou (par 29), and Les Fougères, a third course under construction with 6 playable holes. A low dark hedge borders the manicured lawn, which extends to a tree line.

Work began in 1981 when Lucien Roux designed the course to accommodate the growing membership of Golf de Charade. Nine holes opened in 1984, allowing the first competition, and the club-house and 18-hole "les Bruyères" were completed in 1986. The compact 9-hole "le Pariou" opened in 1988, and a third course, "les Fougères", has been under construction since 2002 with six holes playable.

The club's patron is Jean Garaialde, a French professional who played on the European circuit. The Open des Volcans ran from 1992 to 2007 on the Challenge Tour and AGF-Allianz golf Tour calendars, bringing international professionals to Orcines for sixteen years.

The practice area has 40 stations, 20 of them covered, plus four putting greens, pitching areas and training bunkers. A clubhouse with restaurant, lounge, terrace facing the Puy de Dôme, changing rooms with showers and a pro shop stand on site. A chalet equipped for seminars seats 25 people.

The property sits within the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park, offering views of Puy de Dôme mountain from many fairways. This setting makes the experience distinct from other courses in the region.
