Our pros

David Trotta and David Duhamel, two pros to help your game

A member of PGA France, David Duhamel has been teaching at Lolivarie since 2016. He mainly works with players who already have a handicap index and want to bring it down, through private lessons and competition preparation.

His background


A strong amateur player, David competed on the regional circuits before choosing to teach. He qualified with PGA France in 2009 and taught for several seasons in the south-west of France.

He joined Lolivarie in 2016. The course, with its changes in level and raised greens, is his permanent classroom: in his view, you learn more in nine holes here than in a week on a driving range.

Three questions for David Duhamel


What do you enjoy most about being a golf pro at Lolivarie?
After all these years of teaching, I wanted to meet new people to help with their golf, and Lolivarie has first-class practice facilities.
What advice would you give an amateur golfer who really wants to improve?
Don’t look for enjoyment only in a good shot; make the most of the setting and the company of the people you are playing with.
What makes the Lolivarie course special, and which kinds of golfers will enjoy it?
Lolivarie is a course that is always well kept, where every kind of golfer can find what they are looking for. For Julien and Nadia, a friendly atmosphere comes first.

We thoroughly enjoyed 2 games at Lolivarie golf club. We enjoyed our first experience so much we went back for a second! Very friendly staff who made us so welcome. An interesting and varied course, well maintained, with a lovely outdoor shaded area post golf for refreshments. All in all a great experience.

Pros- nice friendly staff at the reception and easy booking for tee time. Relaxed atmosphere around the clubhouse and restaurant. Good driving range facility. The course layout is nice, fairly challenging and mostly flat. Good value for money esp. for golf addicts with their day pass! My “local” preferred course in Dordogne.
Cons- tee boxes could be better, most are uneven and some with tall grasses.
