The French Riviera offers world-class golf in a stunning Mediterranean setting. Here's how to plan the perfect golf holiday.
When to Visit
The best months are April-May and September-October. Avoid July-August if you don't like heat.
How Long to Stay
We recommend 5-7 days to play 4-5 different courses without rushing. This allows time to enjoy the region too.
Where to Base Yourself
- Mougins/Cannes area - Central to many top courses
- Nice - Good transport links, vibrant city
- Saint-Raphaël - Quieter, near Valescure and Estérel courses

Booking Tips
