Auron Mountain Golf

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Auron Mountain Golf, and what should I expect from the weather?

You'll find Auron Mountain Golf truly shines during the summer months, typically from June through September, when the snow has melted and the course is in prime condition. Expect crisp, clear mountain air and plenty of sunshine, though afternoon showers can roll in quickly, so pack a light rain jacket just in case.

What's unique about playing golf at Auron's altitude, and how does it affect my game?

Playing at Auron's elevation is a fantastic experience; the thinner air means your ball will fly further, often by 10-15 yards, so adjust your club selection accordingly. The course also features some dramatic elevation changes, offering exciting downhill tee shots and challenging uphill approaches that really test your shot-making.

Getting to Auron is part of the adventure, as you'll navigate winding mountain roads that offer spectacular views of the Mercantour National Park. We highly recommend renting a car for the scenic drive, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours from Nice, giving you the flexibility to explore the charming villages along the way.

What are the typical green fees at Auron Mountain Golf, and are there any packages worth considering?

Green fees at Auron are quite reasonable for a mountain course, usually ranging from 40-60 euros for 18 holes, depending on the season and time of day. Keep an eye out for twilight rates or multi-round passes if you plan to stay in the area for a few days; they often offer excellent value.

Are there other activities or sights to enjoy around Auron after a round of golf?

Absolutely! Auron is a vibrant mountain resort, so after your round, you can explore numerous hiking and mountain biking trails that crisscross the surrounding peaks. We suggest enjoying a traditional Savoyard meal in the village or taking a scenic chairlift ride for even more breathtaking panoramic views.
