Course Description
Cannes-Mougins Golf Country Club is one of the most established and respected golf venues on the French Riviera. Located just inland from Cannes in the wooded hills of Mougins, this prestigious members’ club offers a traditional championship layout in a peaceful parkland setting.
Opened in 1923 and redesigned by the renowned architect Peter Alliss in the 1970s, the course has hosted major professional events, including multiple editions of the Cannes Open on the European Tour. Its long standing tournament history and immaculate presentation make it one of the Riviera’s standout golfing destinations.
Course Layout & Design
The course flows naturally through mature pine and oak woodland, offering a calm and secluded atmosphere despite its proximity to the bustling coastline. Fairways are generous enough from the tee, but the strategic bunkering and elevated greens demand precise approach play.
Water hazards feature on several holes, adding both visual appeal and tactical challenge. The greens are known for their quality and subtle breaks, placing a premium on good putting.
The layout is walkable, with gentle elevation changes rather than steep climbs, making it enjoyable for groups and societies as well as competitive players. Conditioning is consistently high, with lush fairways and smooth greens maintained throughout the year thanks to the Riviera’s favourable climate.
