Improve your game with our's golf teachers

The coaching team at Golf Bastide de la Salette is made up of seven independent state-qualified instructors. Whether you’re looking for an individual or group golf lesson, our team is here to help. 

Having started golf late, I was incredibly fortunate to be taken under the wing of Benoit Ducoulombier as his “student assistant”. He mentored me until I qualified as a golf instructor.
After 25 years of teaching golf to all abilities from beginners to professionals, and all age groups from children to seniors, I am able to adapt my coaching to each student’s needs and wants.

I recommend this golf course because it offers a great opportunity to evaluate and improve both your psychological and tactical game and your ability to manipulate the ball to meet the different challenges the golf course presents. Here, the mind plays a pivotal role. You have to think about and analyse every stroke, stay calm and patient and, above all else, not get carried away and play any old stroke, as you’ll instantly be penalised. This golf course will allow you to try out every different type of golf stroke possible, in both your long game and your short game.

My favourite hole on this golf course is the twelfth. It’s a downhill par 3, so you can dominate the hole from the start. Surrounded by forest from the tee box to the green, the scenery is stunning. The shallow green is very well defended on either side. Depending on the position of the flag and the wind conditions, several stroke solutions are possible. It’s up to you to choose the best one for your circumstances.

A state-qualified instructor since 1993, I joined the coaching team at Golf Bastide de la Salette at the beginning of my professional career. I am passionate about my job and offer a variety of individual and group coaching packages for adults and children.

I recommend Golf Bastide de la Salette for the quality of its training facilities, which allow me to take a fun, tailored approach to coaching. I also love the 18-hole golf course surrounded by greenery in the heart of Marseille’s 11th arrondissement. There’s nothing else like it in the region.

After starting off as a professional tennis player, my passion for golf took over and today I am proud to be able to teach this fascinating sport to high-level players and beginners of all ages. I adapt my teaching method, approach and specific technical tools to the goals, abilities and body shape of each student.

I recommend Golf Bastide de la Salette in Marseille because, despite having played on this course for many years, I am still blown away by its setting and magnificent views every time I play, and by the fact that each hole presents a different challenge.

My favourite hole is the seventh because it’s a long par 4 with a slight dogleg, surrounded by tall trees. With such beautiful nature all around you, it’s easy to forget you’re in the middle of Marseille. From a golf point of view, it’s one of the “flattest” holes on the course, requiring technical skill and stroke adjustment.

As a golf instructor at Golf Bastide de la Salette in Marseille for more than 20 years and a member of the PGA, my coaching is based on teaching students a simple movement, tailored to the individual.
Simplicity is the common denominator. Whether you’re a beginner or a very high-level player, it’s the key to easily maintaining a regular trajectory.
Like I do with fittings, I use modern tools like the TrackMan and high-definition video for this.

I discovered golf quite late at the age of 17, but it very quickly became a genuine passion. I then taught at Golf de Frégate for 10 years, where I was able to set up a golf academy.
In 2000 I was involved in creating Golf de Marseille Borély and designed the 9-hole compact course. In 2013 I joined the team at Golf Bastide de la Salette, where I’ve been coaching full-time ever since.

Golf Bastide de la Salette offers an exceptional, unspoiled setting with different varieties of plants and trees like hundred-year-old oaks, pines and cedars that define the contours of the golf course. With its panoramic view of the velodrome, Sainte-Baume mountains and the sea, golf and nature lovers can’t help but love it.

The  new 11th hole: amazing! Don’t go by its looks—it’s very technical!

Graduate of CREPS de Montpellier in 1998. PGA France member since 1996. Short game master class. Level 2 TrackMan certification. I’ve been coaching at Golf Bastide de la Salette since 1999 with passion and energy. Both of these qualities are essential for developing students’ golfing prowess. The aim of my coaching is to meet every student’s needs. In 2013 I added the TrackMan technological tool, the leading launch monitor, to my coaching repertoire. I offer a complete programme of instruction to create the best possible conditions for play and help my students make sound progress. Through my continued investment in the junior players, I am training the competitors of the future.

In my opinion, the 2nd hole sums up what the Golf Bastide de la Salette golf course is all about, as it has a stunning view and is an enjoyable hole to play whether you’re an aggressive or cautious player.

I started playing golf as a junior and 40 years later, my passion is as strong as ever. A qualified instructor since 1985 and teacher since 2000, I completed my training at various golf academies in the United States.

The 7th hole, as it’s challenging and quite long. This is because it’s uphill and has a green with a double plateau, making it harder. It also has breathtaking scenery.
