Golf Club de Biot

About This Course

Golf Club de Biot carries nearly a century of history, originally established in 1930 as Golf de la Bastide du Roy at the foot of the picturesque village of Biot, famous worldwide as the city of glassmakers. This character-rich course offers an atypical layout that rewards creativity and course management over raw power. The design by James Peter Gannon and Percy Boomer reflects the strategic thinking of early 20th-century golf architecture. Tight fairways wind through mature vegetation, demanding accuracy from the tee. The greens, while not enormous, are full of subtle breaks that challenge even experienced putters. What the course lacks in length it compensates with character and charm. Many holes require you to shape shots, working the ball around natural obstacles and mature trees that have witnessed decades of play. This is a thinking golfer's course where strategy trumps strength. The village of Biot itself is worth exploring before or after your round, with its famous glass-blowing workshops and charming medieval streets. The clubhouse maintains a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere where local members and visitors mix easily. For those seeking authentic French Riviera golf away from the more commercialized venues, Biot provides a genuinely memorable experience.
