Golf courses in the Côte d'Azur

Cannes Mougins is one of the regions most prestigious courses and has held many European tour events. It is well maintained and has fast challenging greens. The views are not as spectacular as other courses in the region but I guess it’s about the golf not the scenery! There is also a driving range, chipping green and putting green.
