Course Report
Royal Mougins received 'Best Golf Resort in France' three consecutive years (2016, 2017, 2018) and features an acclaimed on-site spa and 29-suite boutique hotel.
About
Royal Mougins Golf Club, designed by Robert von Hagge in 1993, is a renowned 18-hole course set in a lush, wooded valley near the French Riviera. Known for technical challenge and superb scenery, it is considered one of France’s top golf resorts with a boutique hotel and a welcoming, exclusive club atmosphere.
Caddie Tip
Royal Mougins demands strategic course management—many holes are tree-lined and water hazards lower the margin for error. On several doglegs, favor accuracy over distance; local advice suggests laying up short of fairway bunkers rather than always taking driver. The greens are quick; careful reading and touch are vital.
The Main Challenge
The course’s greatest challenge is the narrow fairways flanked by trees and well-placed water hazards, demanding precise tee shots and approach play. Rapidly changing elevation throughout the valley and undulating greens can quickly add strokes for anyone caught out of position. Club selection and course management are critical to scoring well.
The Good
Golfers love Royal Mougins for its beautiful, tranquil setting, scenic mountain vistas, and the high-quality experience from course to clubhouse. Many praise the friendly, exclusive atmosphere and the technical challenge the layout provides. The elegant hotel and spa amenities make it a top golf getaway.
The Not So Good
Players sometimes express concern about the high green fees and strict access policy, with only hotel guests, members, or their guests allowed frequent play. Occasional maintenance of bunkers and water features has also been mentioned as areas needing more consistent attention.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole is a par 4 that plays back toward the clubhouse and offers a dramatic finish. Strategy comes into play off the tee, with water hazards and bunkers protecting the approach to a green backed by the elegant terrace. The 18th’s views, demanding accuracy, and memorable setting make it the club’s standout hole.
Clubhouse
Amenities include a fine restaurant with terrace dining, a fully stocked pro shop, private locker rooms, meeting rooms, and an acclaimed spa. Additional features include a boutique 29-suite hotel, conference facilities, and a seasonal outdoor pool, all providing comfort for golfers and guests.
