Saint Donat is a cracking option on the French Riviera and one of our favourite picks if you want top-quality golf without straying far from Cannes. Just inland from the coast, it feels a world away once you're on the first tee, with a smart, strategic layout that rewards good decisions as much as good swings.
You'll find plenty of variety in the routing, with holes that ask you to shape tee shots, hit proper yardages into guarded greens and pick your moments to be aggressive. The Riviera climate means you can often play comfortably outside peak summer, and conditions can get nicely firm when it's dry, so course management really matters if you're trying to score rather than simply get round.
It's also part of the Côte d'Azur Golf Pass, a handy pass that covers several of the area's best courses. If you're building a multi-course trip, it's ideal. Tell us how many rounds you're planning and where you're staying, and we'll advise whether the pass works out best value and sort the tee times around it.
Off the course, the location is a big plus. You're close enough to dip into Cannes for dinner, beaches and nightlife, then back to base ready for the next day's golf.
