Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deal with the ferry crossing at Old Course Cannes? Is it a hassle?

Don't worry, the ferry crossing between the 3rd and 4th holes is actually a charming, unique feature, not a hassle. It's a quick, fun ride across the Siagne River that adds a memorable touch to your round and gives you a moment to appreciate the scenery. We think it's one of the course's best quirks.

Despite the 'Links' in its name, is Old Course Cannes a true links experience?

You'll find Old Course Cannes is more of a classic parkland layout, not a true links course in the Scottish tradition. Expect tree-lined fairways, lush greenery, and plenty of palm trees, offering a beautiful contrast to the rugged coastal links you might imagine. It's a delightful, well-manicured course that plays very differently from its name.

When is the best time of year to play Old Course Cannes for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons - late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) - for the best experience. You'll enjoy pleasant temperatures perfect for golf, fewer crowds than peak summer, and the course will be in superb condition. Avoid mid-summer if you can, as it gets very hot and busy.

How far in advance should I book my tee time, and what should I expect to pay?

Given its popularity and location near Cannes, we advise booking your tee time at least a few weeks in advance, especially during peak season. Green fees are typical for a quality Riviera course, generally ranging from €100-€150, but always check their official website for current pricing and any package deals. It's a worthwhile splurge for the experience.

Is Old Course Cannes a particularly challenging course, or is it more forgiving?

Old Course Cannes offers a fair challenge without being overly punishing, making it enjoyable for a range of handicaps. You'll need to navigate some tight, tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers, but the greens are generally receptive. It's a course that rewards thoughtful play rather than brute strength.
