Alps Tour returns to Metz for the 23rd Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or

France, June 3rd, 2026 – For the 11th event of the season, the Alps Tour heads to northeastern France for the traditional Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or. A fixture on the circuit since 2005, the tournament will celebrate its 23rd edition this year.

As usual, the event will be played at Golf Domaine de la Grange aux Ormes, near Metz, from June 5th to 7th.

The tournament will offer a minimum prize fund of €49,000, along with 45,000 Order of Merit points, including €7,100 and 6,525 points awarded to the winner.

The competition will be played over 54 holes of stroke play, with a cut after 36 holes to the top 40 professionals and ties, including all amateurs within the cut. In the event of a tie after 54 holes, a sudden-death playoff will determine the champion.

On June 4th, the traditional Tour Scramble Pro-Am will take place.

The Field

Following his promotion to the HotelPlanner Tour thanks to a third victory of the season at the Open de Roissy – Grand Prix PGA France, Italy’s Andrea Romano leaves the door open for a new leader to emerge.

France’s Maxime Legros now has the opportunity to earn his own promotion should he capture a third title this season.

Standing in his way will be England’s Mason Essam, runner-up in Roissy, and France’s Théo Boulet, who arrives in good form after securing his first podium finish of the year last week. Fellow Frenchman Paul Franquet, now up to sixth in the Order of Merit, will look to continue his rise up the rankings.

The field is composed of 134 players, including 56 French players and 25 amateurs.

The Course

For the 2026 Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or, players will compete at Golf Domaine de la Grange aux Ormes, located just outside Metz in eastern France. Set within a historic estate dominated by an eighteenth-century château with medieval origins, the venue offers a unique blend of heritage and championship golf.

Designed by Philippe Gourdon, the 18-hole Le Bois Brûlé course stretches 6,436 metres and plays to a par 70 across gently undulating terrain. Lined by century-old trees, protected by strategic water hazards and framed by views of the Val Messin countryside, the course rewards both power and precision.

Renowned for its excellent year-round conditioning and its iconic water driving range overlooked by the château, Grange aux Ormes has long been a prestigious host of the Open International de la Mirabelle d’Or and remains one of the leading tournament venues in eastern France.

The club is also home to the 9-hole Le Breuil course, providing an additional playing and practice option for golfers of all abilities.
