Golf courses in French Riviera

The French Riviera packs around 26 golf courses into one of the most glamorous stretches of coastline in Europe, where the Mediterranean light, the scent of pine and the backdrop of the Maritime Alps frame almost every round. This is golf with a sense of occasion: the historic Golf Country Club Cannes-Mougins has long welcomed visiting players in the hills above Cannes, while courses like Golf de Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Endréol drape themselves over dramatic terrain with sea views and tumbling fairways.

The Riviera's mild winters and warm, dry summers make it one of the most reliable year-round golf destinations in France, ideal for combining a few rounds with the beaches, harbours and hilltop villages of the Côte d'Azur. Variety is the region's strength, from polished resort layouts such as Victoria Golf Club and Riviera Golf Club to more sporting, hillside courses like Golf Country Club de Saint-Donat. For a travelling golfer, the appeal is simple: serious, scenic golf within easy reach of Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez, all under the southern sun.
