Our activities JOHN CHEETHAM

Gaetan has a dream: to create a huge real estate complex around a golf course and decides to make it happen. A man of charisma, he manages to federate and inspire around his unique project and is inspired by the golf course of La Manga in Spain.

After many exchanges and negotiations, Gaetan collaborates with the mayor of Mallemort, Daniel Conte and with the support of Claude Roger Cartier, President of the French Golf Federation, creates a complex arrangement which leads to the creation in 1989 of the ZAC, a concerted development zone, an implementation agreement and a development plan for this zone.

Many plots are detached to bring this fabulous project to fruition! But to build, you must now surround yourself! It is the British company LONDON METROPOLITAN, developer, which takes up the challenge. The American architecture firm EDSA is retained to draw the first sketches of the project.

Unique in the South of France, we feel privileged and excited to attend this great golf tournament which brings together enthusiasts and renowned professional golfers! Free and open to all, the competition welcomed no less than 7,000 spectators in 2019 and is now one of the major tournaments of the European Challenge Tour. John Cheetham Immobilier presents his brief overview of the competition and what awaits us this year!

GOLF DE PONT ROYAL: A unique place, an international course

The finesse of the course of the course, perfectly integrated into the natural environment, makes the Pont Royal golf course a golf course designed for international competitions. They alternate tactical and technical difficulties in an admirably maintained green space and offer a real sporting challenge to players of all levels.

THE HOPPS OPEN DE PROVENCE: A famous, unmissable tournament

The Hopps Open de Provence is a European professional men's golf tournament, a must-see on the French circuit. It is unique in PACA, the three other equivalent tournaments in France taking place in the Hauts de France, in Normandy and in Brittany. It counts for the classification of the European challenge tour.

How is the tournament organized? 138 players play 18 holes per day on Thursday September 16, 2021 (1st round) and Friday September 17, 2021 (2nd round) and at the end of the Friday night "cut", the lowest ranked players are eliminated. The first 60 and tied are qualified to play until Sunday! At the end of the tournament, the player who wins 3 tournaments in the same season automatically enters the European Tour.

Located steps away from the Luberon and the Alpilles, the Domaine of Pont Royal benefits from a jaw-dropping setting.

This gated community includes the magnifiscent 18 hole golf course as well as the brand new 9 holes. Pont Royal Domaine has two hotels, exquisit restaurants, an array of swimming pools and a Spa with quality Occitane products.
Golfing, horse-back riding and tennis are only a few of the many activities and entertainment facilities on location.

Many villas and appartments are located on the golfcourse, all with a character of their own. This harmonious design is a true collection of styles: natural materials that are as varied as the soils of Provence themselves: pastel shades of antique pink ochre and sand dune yellow.

It is truly the "village" spirit that shows the extent of so much beauty. The natural intimacy and serenity of the location are there to be enjoyed on a daily basis.
