Welcome to the French Riviera.
Cannes is famous for its film festival and the hedonistic feel the small city on Nice’s doorstep gives off to tourists and locals alike. But I’m here to golf, and though most visitors have stars and the Cote D’Azur’s crystal blue hues in their minds, there’s plenty of green to go around as well.
There are 10 courses within an easy drive of the world-famous Croissette, the stretch of waterfront that is one of Europe’s most desired addresses. Golf de Claux Amix was my personal favourite of the quartet that I managed to tee it up in and around Cannes.
Claux Amix and its property, a fixture in the area for a quarter-century, underwent extensive renovations that saw a new hotel cum apartment complex open in 2016, burnishing the course’s reputation that has been helped by hosting the acclaimed La Riviera Grasse Pro-Am every year.
