Golf de Valescure

About This Course

Golf de Valescure holds the distinction of being one of the oldest courses on the Côte d'Azur, with over a century of history welcoming golfers to its uniquely British-inspired layout. Designed by Lord Ashcomb, this charming course retains all the character and strategic challenge of early golf architecture while maintaining excellent modern conditioning. At just 5,061 meters with a par of 68, Valescure might seem short by modern standards, but length is far from the only measure of difficulty here. The course is famous for its tiny "postage stamp" greens that demand pinpoint accuracy on approach shots. Finding the putting surface is only half the battle—holding it requires skill and careful club selection. The British heritage shows in the strategic bunkering and the premium placed on shot-making over power. This is a course where a smooth 7-iron to a tight pin position matters more than a booming drive. Low-handicap players particularly appreciate the precision demands. Located in the Saint-Raphaël area, Valescure pairs beautifully with neighboring Estérel Latitudes Golf for a two-course day exploring different eras of golf architecture. The historic clubhouse provides comfortable post-round facilities with traditional charm. For golfers who appreciate classical design and don't equate difficulty with distance, Valescure offers a genuinely rewarding experience.
