Mougins, Alpes-Maritimes, France
Royal Mougins Golf Club
Carved through the pine forests above Cannes, Royal Mougins is the most prestigious golf club on the French Riviera — a private championship course of exceptional quality in one of Europe's most glamorous settings.
About the Course
Royal Mougins Golf Club
Royal Mougins is the most prestigious golf club on the French Riviera — a private championship course designed by Robert von Hagge and set among the pine forests above Cannes, with views across the Mediterranean and the Esterel hills. Opened in 1993, the course has established itself as the benchmark for golf on the Côte d'Azur.
The course plays to 6,250 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the dramatic pine forest setting, the natural terrain changes, and von Hagge's signature style of bold bunkering, water features, and visually spectacular hole design. The routing through the forest creates a series of holes of great variety and challenge, each one a distinctive expression of the Riviera landscape.
Royal Mougins has hosted the Cannes Open and is widely regarded as the finest private golf club on the French Riviera. The combination of the world-class golf, the extraordinary Mediterranean setting, and the proximity to Cannes and Monaco creates a travel experience of exceptional quality — a destination that is unique in European golf.

Why It Stands Out
The Riviera's Finest Club
Royal Mougins is widely regarded as the finest private golf club on the French Riviera — a championship course of exceptional quality set among the pine forests above Cannes. The combination of the world-class golf, the extraordinary Mediterranean setting, and the proximity to Cannes and Monaco creates a travel experience that is unique in European golf.
Robert von Hagge Design
The course was designed by Robert von Hagge — one of the most celebrated golf architects of the late 20th century. His signature style of bold bunkering, dramatic water features, and visually spectacular hole design creates a golf experience of great quality and visual impact that is among the most distinctive on the Côte d'Azur.
Pine Forest Setting
The course is carved through the pine forests above Cannes — a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty and Mediterranean character. The pine corridors, natural terrain changes, and views across the Mediterranean and the Esterel hills create a sense of place that is unique in French golf.
Cannes Open Heritage
Royal Mougins has hosted the Cannes Open and is a proven championship venue. The course's tournament pedigree, combined with the extraordinary Riviera setting and the proximity to Cannes and Monaco, creates a golf destination of genuine international standing.
