Golf Saint Donat, Côte d'Azur

Hole in One Opportunity in the Bamboo Grove

GOLF SAINT DONAT

A true gem nestled in the hinterlands of Cannes on the Côte d'Azur. The enchanting course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Junior, remains playable even in dry conditions: it's currently one of the best, according to Pierre, a dedicated local golfer who traveled all the way from Nice. The often narrow fairways, boasting a Par 71 and stretching 6031 meters in hilly terrain, offer a delightful variety. Each hole presents its own unique challenge.

Relaxation is guaranteed post-round, at the Clubhouse terrace with an excellent view of hole 18 and Saint Donat and at the Pool of Le Manoir de l'Etan, www.manoir-de-letang.com.

AMAZE! Well maintained and among the finest options along the Côte d'Azur, this course remains enjoyable even in dry summer conditions, with shade provided by leafy deciduous trees and bordered by meandering streams in the valley.
HIGH LIGHTS

A highlight is Hole 10, Par 3, as you tee off over the water toward the mystically enchanting, Gothic Saint Donat Chapel. Pay attention to the pond on the right!
FUN Factor

It remains exciting: Each hole offers unique challenges to us players. We can look forward to a mix of hilly doglegs, water hazards, and narrow fairways
And almost a hole in one on Hole 16, Par 3,
he ball stops just 3 cm from the hole..., 98 meters from the red tee.
HOW to PLAY
 Water frequently comes into play, demanding precise shots — opting for solid iron shots is often wiser than taking the risky driver- see Hole 4, Par 4, where you must navigate down and back up approximately 400 meters while crossing water twice. Nearly everywhere, chestnut trees or even bamboo line the fairways.👍😀

SIGNATURE Hole

Hole 18 is the grand finale: a challenging dogleg to the right, played from the peninsula near the pond. It's beautifully integrated into the picturesque hilly landscape, surrounded by pine trees and flanked by two expansive ponds. It's a relatively long Par 4, just under 400 meters from the white tee and 340 meters from the red to the green beside the lake in front of the clubhouse
