Resonance
The Golf Bastide de la Salette and Resonance Golf Collection teams are proud to announce that they have officially been awarded the Label Argent Golf pour la Biodiversité (Silver Golf for Biodiversity Label) by the French Golf Federation in collaboration with the French National Museum of Natural History.
Nestling in the green hills of Marseille, our golf course has been committed for several years to a concrete and sustainable approach to preserving local biodiversity. This label rewards the many actions taken in the field: rational management of natural areas, creation of habitats favourable to flora and fauna, reduction of inputs, monitoring of species present, and raising public awareness.
Awarded by a committee of experts from the worlds of golf, the environment, sport and biodiversity, this label shows that our club knows, acts and shares in favour of nature.
This is just a first step: we are passionately pursuing our commitment to making Golf Bastide de la Salette a real showcase for nature in the city, open to all and a key player in the ecological transition.
A schedule and protocol for differentiated mowing have been put in place. For example, mowing of the rough now begins in the middle of the rough, allowing insects and animals to escape in complete safety.
All these measures have led to a significant increase in the number of flowers, demonstrating the benefits of these initiatives for local biodiversity.
Fourteen nest boxes have been installed: six for bats, four for squirrels and four for birds.
This initiative has also led to a partnership with a class of disabled children, promoting awareness, education and the transmission of environmental values to future generations. In addition, the field team created insect hotels using recycled materials.
Escape routes (nets) have been installed in the ponds to allow the various species to escape.
Over the past year, maintenance work, mainly focused on pruning, has been carried out on the remarkable trees, with particular attention paid to the oaks.
Buffer zones surrounding the ponds have been created with flowers and plants, reaching a height of around 60 cm.
These areas are cut back only once a year. The same protocol is applied to the storm water basins.
Once it has been awarded the silver label, La Bastide de la Salette Golf Club undertakes to carry out the actions recommended by the naturalist organisation, either immediately or over the next five years. Four actions have been identified:
The convictions, motivation and commitment of all the teams at Golf Bastide de la Salette to biodiversity and environmental initiatives are particularly interesting. The team made up of management and operational teams has demonstrated a heightened awareness of the issues surrounding biodiversity. They are not only passionate about preserving the environment, but also deeply invested in implementing initiatives that promote sustainability.
When two iconic worlds come together, the result is a collaboration as elegant as it is inspiring. Resonance Golf Collection is proud to announce a three-year partnership with Lacoste, rooted in style, refinement, and a shared passion for golf. Born from a mutual vision of premium golf, this partnership celebrates a lifestyle where excellence, elegance, and modernity meet both on and off the course.
Golf Bastide de la Salette offers much more than just a golf course.
Members benefit from exclusive advantages, convivial events and inter-club meetings. A unique experience was had with Les Spartiates de Marseille, allowing golfers to discover ice hockey and forge links beyond sport.
This club is a real place where people come together to share and exchange ideas. Join us and experience golf in a different way!
