Course map
The front nine opens with a par 5 and mixes long and short holes; the back nine is the more demanding, with water in play on the 11th and 12th, then the longest par 5 on the course at the 14th.
Six sets of tees, from 5,884 m to 3,020 m, let golfers of every level play the same layout.
Front nine
Par 37 · 2,925 m from the white tees
Pro’s tip
Drive down the right side of the fairway, then stay short of the ditch with your second shot.
Pro’s tip
Drive down the left side of the fairway. On your second shot, watch out for the bunker in front of the green.
Pro’s tip
A par 3 where lining up is tricky. Don’t hesitate to take one club more, as the green is very deep.
Pro’s tip
A fairly short par 4. Place your drive carefully as the fairway is narrow, and take care with your approach to the two-tier green.
Pro’s tip
An easy par 5. Stay to the right, as the fairway slopes across.
Pro’s tip
Keep your tee shot short. The green is small and difficult to pitch onto.
Pro’s tip
A long par 3 with a stream on the right and out of bounds behind the green.
Pro’s tip
A short but demanding par 5. Drive down the left of the fairway, and take care: the entrance to the green is narrow and the green is deep.
Pro’s tip
Drive down the left of the fairway. The entrance to the green is wide and open, but watch out for the out of bounds on the right.
Back nine
Par 36 · 2,959 m from the white tees
Pro’s tip
A par 3: line up carefully, with a small stream to carry.
Pro’s tip
Place your tee shot carefully on this par 4 and don’t hesitate to take a 3-wood. On your second shot, watch out for the water in front of the green.
Pro’s tip
A difficult par 4 with plenty of water. Place your tee shot carefully between the two water hazards; the approach to the green over the water is delicate.
Pro’s tip
A par 3: aim to the right to avoid the out of bounds on the left.
Pro’s tip
The longest of the par 5s. Drive to the left, as the fairway slopes slightly across. The third shot is straightforward, into a bowl-shaped green.
Pro’s tip
Take care to line up your drive.
Pro’s tip
A fairly long par 5 that calls for restraint off the tee. Don’t hesitate to hit an iron to lay up short of the water hazard.
Pro’s tip
At last an easy hole, but take care not to go through the green.
Pro’s tip
Drive down the left side of the fairway. On your second shot, watch out for the bunker in front of the green.

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.
I played 18 holes on vacation may 2024, very nice course , been some rain and the lower lying areas were a little soft. Had a lovely time , the owner Julian very kindly dropped me back to my accommodation , thanks for the round .
Nice seating area outside. Suuuuuper friendly people!
Great course, well maintained and well kept greens. Relaxed atmosphere. Best to book in advance. Yearly tradition to golf at Lolivarie!
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.
