Perched 900 meters above the Mediterranean, Monte-Carlo Golf Club is one of the most spectacular courses in Europe. Here's everything you need to know before your round.
History & Heritage
Founded in 1911, Monte-Carlo Golf Club was designed by Willie Park Jr, a two-time Open Champion. The course was commissioned by the Société des Bains de Mer, the company that operates Monte-Carlo's famous casino. Over a century later, it remains one of the most prestigious clubs on the Riviera.
The Course
Holes: 18
Par: 71
Altitude: 900m
Architect: Willie Park Jr (1911)
The course features dramatic elevation changes, narrow fairways, and small, well-defended greens. The mountain setting means cooler temperatures than the coast - bring an extra layer.
Standout Holes
Hole 3 (Par 4): Stunning views of Monaco below as you play along the clifftop.
Hole 7 (Par 3): A beautiful downhill par 3 with panoramic Mediterranean views.
Hole 14 (Par 4): Challenging dogleg with a blind tee shot requiring local knowledge.
Hole 18 (Par 4): A fitting finale with the historic clubhouse framing the approach.
