Keen golfers would be hard pushed to find a more perfect place to look for property for sale in South of France than in Mougins. For Mougins has in its vicinity half a dozen or more top class golf courses – and no less than two world class clubs right on its doorstep.

The proximity of exceptional greens plus an ideal all-year climate means that Mougins is one of the premier spots for golfing enthusiasts to look for property for sale South of France. The French Riviera enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine per annum, which equates to a more than healthy number of hours on the green.

Perhaps the most prestigious of all golf courses on the Cote d’Azur is Mougins’ very own Royal Mougins Golf Club, which was designed by the late American architecture Robert Van Hagge in 1993.

Ranked among the Top 100 Courses of the World, and as one of the best five courses in France, the Royal Mougins Golf Club has a membership which reads like a Who’s Who of Europe. For any keen golfer a visit of this club is a must on any trip to view Mougins real estate, even if it’s just to tell the club back home that you have witnessed one of the greatest greens on the globe.

Another first-class establishment is the Cannes Mougins Golf Course, which stretches out between Mougins and the coast. The superb site, which held the European Opens in the 80s and 90s, winds its way between two magnificent forests and the gently undulating course is traversed by a river and several water hazards.

A visit to the Cote d’Azur’s oldest golf course – the Cannes-Mandelieu Golf Club – which opened in 1891 between the Mediterranean Sea and the River Siagne, is also highly recommended to any golf lover on a recce of possible Mougins real estate purchases.

Within an hour’s drive of Mougins is the Monte Carlo Golf Club, built on the slopes of Mount Agel above the Principality of Monaco in 1911. The impressive course enjoys unrivalled views of the Mediterranean from its green.
