Provence / Côte d'Azur, France
Golf de Cannes-Mougins
A historic Riviera parkland that has hosted the Cannes Open and sits among the fragrant pines above Mougins.
Course overview
Golf de Cannes-Mougins traces its origins to 1926 and occupies a pine-forested hillside in the village of Mougins, a short drive inland from Cannes. The course was shaped by Peter Alliss and Dave Thomas into its modern form and stretches to 6,400 metres, with tight fairways framed by umbrella pines and stone walls that give the layout a distinctly Mediterranean character. The club hosted the Cannes Open on the European Tour and retains a reputation as one of the Côte d'Azur's most atmospheric rounds.
