|  | Just a short distance north of Antibes, where the Alps start their descent to the Mediterranean, the hustle and bustle of the Riviera fades from memory.
Back country charms
Here, in this haven of Mediterranean peace, you will discover a new golf experience.
Sensing nature
Golfing at Sophia-Antipolis promises the pleasure of communing with nature. See the way the light plays across the verdant, hilly landscape. Listen to the cicadas when they begin their hypnotic chirping. Smell the fragrance that fills the air from the bordering pine forest and fields of flowers to supply perfume makers in Grasse. |

| | Opio-Valbonne Golf Club
Designed in 1966 by English architect Donald Harradine and recently remodeled by Robert Berthet, the course gives the most exacting golfers a chance to exercise all their skills. The first 9 holes require a good approach and masterly use of irons. On the return, long, regular shots with woods are needed.
Grasse Country Club or Golf du Claux Amic
Perched at an altitude of 600 m, in a forest of hundred-year old oaks, the Grasse Country Club (renamed Claux Amic, after the site) owes its nickname "Balcony of the Riviera" to the exceptional view it offers of the bay of Cannes and the Esterel mountains. Its subtle contours require careful thinking before each shot. |
