Golf Holidays in French Riviera

There are few destinations in the world as evocative as the French Riviera.  Stretching from Monte Carlo to Saint Tropez, it takes in some fabulous inland countryside and picturesque villages along the way and makes for a truly special South of France golf holiday.

As well as the famous resorts and idyllic towns, the French Riviera boasts many dramatic golf courses designed by the biggest names in golf: Player, Trent Jones, Robert von Hagge, Dave Thomas and Pete Dye to name-drop but a few!   So you’ve got plenty of top quality golf to add to the scenery and glamour.

In and around Cannes provides a golf holiday full of action and/or charm depending on your choice of hotel as well as 10 courses in the French Top 50.  And the courses are so much quieter (and often cheaper) than their equivalent in Spain and Portugal.  Plus, the sights and attractions are legendary.

Let me know what sort of holiday you need and I’ll come up with the best itinerary for you.   Be it a lazy break with plenty of time to sample such touristic gems as Saint Paul de Vence and Eze, an action-packed long weekend based in Cannes with reservations at the best restaurants and bars and golf at “tick-list” clubs like Royal Mougins and Terre Blanche, or a quality-led stay at a boutique hotel with beautiful layouts like Grasse and Saint Endreol included in your plans. And new from 2019 are my great-value South of France Golf Passes featuring three regions (Languedoc, Provence and the Cote d’Azur) with 56 golf courses at reduced rates.

Temperatures are similar to the Algarve but with only half the rainfall from November to April.  Nice Airport is well-served year-round by many UK airports or take it slow and let me plan a three-day route down from Calais.   And from October to June, the low- and mid-season prices mean that the French Riviera is the savvy choice providing superior quality at impressive value.
