Golf Holidays in Mandelieu : 12 Exceptional Courses Within 35 km

Some destinations call themselves golfing paradises. Mandelieu-la-Napoule doesn't need to.

Two outstanding golf courses are just minutes from the hotel, with more than ten others located within a 35-kilometre radius. Add to those 2,700 hours of sunshine each year and a Mediterranean restaurant waiting for you after your round, and you'll quickly understand why Mandelieu is one of the French Riviera's premier golfing destinations.

Best Western Premier Collection Ilot du Golf has been awarded the Best Western "Golf Promise" label—a distinction reserved for hotels that genuinely cater to golfers. Here, golf isn't simply a marketing feature; it's part of our identity. Our team knows the local courses, the best tee times and the hidden gems of the region, and will be delighted to help you make the most of your golfing holiday.

Old Course Cannes Mandelieu :Historic, Unique and Full of Character

Founded in 1891, Old Course Cannes Mandelieu is the fourth oldest golf course in France still in operation. One might expect a course defined solely by its rich heritage, but the reality is quite different.

Bordered by magnificent umbrella pines and crossed by the Siagne River—the very same river that flows beside the hotel—the course features a remarkable attraction found nowhere else in France: a cable ferry transporting golfers from one side of the course to the other. It's a charming, timeless experience between two fairways.

And it's quite literally just a short walk from the hotel.

Riviera Golf de Barbossi : Challenging, Scenic and Truly Unique

A little further inland, nestled among the hills of the Estérel Massif, Riviera Golf de Barbossi offers a completely different golfing experience. The course is more technical, with significant elevation changes and spectacular natural surroundings. What truly sets it apart, however, is its permanent collection of contemporary sculptures displayed throughout the course.

Every round becomes an open-air art walk as much as a golfing experience—something few golf courses anywhere in the world can offer.

Golf in Every Season

With around 2,700 hours of sunshine every year, the French Riviera offers outstanding golfing conditions throughout the seasons.

Spring is particularly popular, with perfectly maintained courses and pleasantly mild temperatures. During summer, early morning tee times provide ideal playing conditions before the afternoon warmth arrives. Autumn brings beautiful colours and quieter fairways. Winter has its own unique charm. In January and February, the famous Mandelieu mimosa trees burst into bloom, surrounding the fairways with vibrant golden blossoms and creating one of the most distinctive golfing landscapes in Europe.

The Perfect Golf Hotel

A great golf holiday isn't only about the time spent on the course. Begin your day with a generous buffet breakfast before heading to your first tee. After your round, unwind in the sauna or whirlpool, letting tired muscles recover in complete comfort. In the evening, Le K Restaurant provides the perfect conclusion to the day, serving seasonal Mediterranean cuisine on its riverside terrace beneath the shade of an 800-year-old olive tree.

Guests can also enjoy the heated outdoor swimming pool (open from April to October) and the hotel's private marina on the Siagne River—an ideal alternative to spending time at the traditional nineteenth hole.
