Golf & gastronomy

Get your taste buds swinging! From fairway to table

Few golfers will turn their backs on the pleasures of a good meal! That’s why the Ain region is so popular with white-ball enthusiasts… A round of golf in the Ain inevitably goes hand in hand with the discovery of the local gastronomy. Gourmets won’t be disappointed, with Michelin-starred restaurants, Saveurs de l’Ain label restaurants and restaurants renowned for their delicious local dishes.

The diversity of local specialities – meat, fish, cheese or sweet delights – is such that you’ll have to make the rounds of the Ain golf courses to sample them all.

Golf courses with a Saveurs de l’Ain restaurant

Three golf courses in the region offer you the chance to combine a round of golf with local Ain products:

The Jiva Hill Golf Club and its resort offer the setting of the Jura and Alpine mountains to a sophisticated 9-hole/18-start course. The golf course, with its varied levels of difficulty and indoor center, will appeal to golfers who enjoy a top-of-the-range environment. After your round of golf, you can enjoy the refined cuisine of the chef at the Jiva gourmet restaurant.
In Monthieux, the Domaine du Gouverneur rolls out the greens of the region’s largest golf course for you, and its Table du Gouverneur aims to sublimate local produce according to the seasons: a perfect balance between bistronomy and golfing passion.
A bucolic course and gastronomy await you at Golf de la Sorelle, in the heart of the beautiful Dombes countryside. After working on the precision of your shots, the La Sorelle restaurant awaits you with a menu featuring fresh, seasonal, mostly local and homemade produce.

The PAR 72 of the Commanderie golf course, with its tree-lined landscape and award-winning wine list, is the perfect setting for a round of golf and an appetizing aperitif. A moment of pleasure that will find a perfect echo at the table of the restaurant La Huchette* in Replonges. This singular establishment, with its vintage and modern chic allure, offers an exceptional art of dining based on artisanal and local products selected for their exceptional quality.
Golf lovers will appreciate the beautiful 18-hole course and 6-hole practice course at La Bresse. All the soul of the region is here, between ponds and forests. A terroir that is also expressed in the dishes of the Blanc family’s gastronomic restaurant, the oldest Michelin-starred restaurant in the region, with its emblematic Bresse poularde à la crème and Mère Blanc’s crêpes vonnassiennes!
From the La Sorelle golf course, it’s just a few minutes to the Michelin-starred L’Aintimiste restaurant in Poncin, whose instinctive, creative cuisine makes the most of local produce.
Swing into the heart of nature, at the Bourg-en-Bresse golf course on the shores of Lac de Bouvent and at the foot of the Revermont mountains. The capital of Bresse has no shortage of fine restaurants, but you’ll have unforgettable memories of your visit to Scratch. The restaurant’s open-plan kitchen offers a colorful spectacle that will delight both your eyes and your taste buds.
