Historical account of the Golf

If stones could talk, they would tell the story of a remarkable piece of land with an ancient oil mill at the top, surrounded by oak trees, pines and fields of jasmine which inspired, at the beginning of the 20th century, golfers of the English high society who used to spend a few months holidays on the ''French Riviera''.

In 1923, the Cannes Country Club was founded by a group of illustrious gentlemen such as Aga Khan, Prince Pierre of Monaco and Baron Edouard de Rothschild.

In 1978, two talented golf architects, Peter Allis and Dave Thomas, delivered a completely redesigned and rejuvenated golf course. In the course of the 80s, Cannes-Mougins was the one and only private golf course on the French Riviera. Between 1980 and 1994, it was also the great stage for the prestigious Cannes Open, an important event of the European Tour.

Now famous for the quality of its course and infrastructures, Cannes-Mougins Golf & Country Club has become the ultimate location, on the French Riviera, for golfers of Europe and the rest of the world.
