Old Course Golf Club Mandelieu
Mandelieu-La-Napoule, Alpes-Maritimes
About This Course
The Old Course Golf Club Mandelieu holds a special place in French golf history as one of the oldest courses in the nation, created in 1891 by the Grand Duke Michel of Russia. This legendary layout has witnessed over 130 years of golfing tradition, making every round a journey through time on the French Riviera. Stretching along the Siagne River delta near the Mediterranean coast, the course offers a flat, links-inspired layout that differs from the hillier courses typical of the region. The strategic design rewards thoughtful play, with mature trees framing fairways and water hazards demanding respect on multiple holes. Despite its relatively modest length of 5,676 meters, the Old Course provides a stern test through its tight fairways and well-defended greens. The condition of the turf is consistently excellent, and the historical character of the course adds immeasurable charm to the experience. The clubhouse, a historic building in its own right, offers comfortable facilities and excellent dining overlooking the course. The welcoming atmosphere and accessible layout make this course suitable for golfers of all abilities while still challenging low handicappers. For anyone seeking to experience the birthplace of Riviera golf, the Old Course Mandelieu is absolutely essential.
