Golf de la Grand Bastide sits in the Nicoise foothills just north of Cannes and it's one of the Côte d'Azur's most established championship tests. You get those classic Riviera views over rolling countryside, but don't let the scenery distract you, this is a course that rewards a solid game plan.
From the tee it's fair without being soft. There's enough room to swing freely, but the best scores come from placing the ball on the right side of the fairway to open up your angles in. Greens are well protected by bunkers and slopes, so approach play and distance control matter, especially with the elevation changes you'll feel across the round. If you're happy shaping it both ways and thinking your way around trouble, you'll love it.
After 18, the clubhouse is an easy spot to settle in and replay the highlights with a drink, with views back over the finishing hole and the hills beyond. It's also a handy base if you're staying around Cannes or using the area as a hub for a multi-course trip, with beaches, restaurants and plenty going on once the clubs are away.
Golf de la Grand Bastide is included in the Côte d'Azur Golf Pass, a handy way to bundle rounds across a selection of top local courses. If you're planning a longer stay and want to tick off a few layouts, ask us and we'll help you build the right mix of courses and tee times.

Cabell Robinson, once a key member of Robert Trent Jones Junior's design team, is the man who created this highly ranked Cannes golf course, a championship standard, modern layout with views of Grasse and the surrounding area.
The tournament tees present a challenge in excess of 6,700 yards, and Grand Bastide is a fine choice for a serious round or relaxing holiday golf alike, which is why it features in so many French golf holidays.

The course was very poor in parts. There was a lot of work going on. Very bare in places. Tee boxes were extremely poor.

Bastide was the only disappointment. We had a voucher for an 1106 tee time, apparently agreed between YGT and Bastide (or whatever intermediary is used to manage tee time bookings)The system at Opio is for the hotel (Begude)to re-issue their own vouchers both for Opio and Bastide, also buggy tickets. After our middle day of heavy rain I thought it prudent to get Begude to check that Bastide was open. It was but they had no knowledge of us or our tee time. Bastide did however offer us a 1454 tee time which we accepted. On arrival it was evident that they were hosting a ladies Open of some sort that had started early am. There was no way they would have allocated us an 1106 slot in the middle of it so how, why and by who were we given it and a voucher that was worthless? We did play at 1454 and had to join a local elderly father and son for a 4 ball, no problem, they were lovely but Dad gave up after 6 holes and son after 9. By the time we got back to the clubhouse it was gone 1900 and the place was shut, couldn't even get a machine coffee. OK, we got the golf we paid for but this shouldn't have happened. I hope you can find out why and prevent it happening again to others.
