Valberg Golf Club
The emerald of South Alps
At an altitude of 1,800 meters in the resort of Valberg, Valberg Golf Club is a unique course in the Alpes-Maritimes region. Situated at the gateway to Mercantour National Park, this mountain course offers an experience rarely found in France: playing golf at high altitude amidst spectacular natural scenery, surrounded by Alpine peaks and 360-degree panoramas.
One of Valberg Golf Club’s greatest assets is its setting. From the course, players enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view of Mont Mounier, the Mercantour massif, and the surrounding Alpine landscape.
This high-mountain location creates a playing experience completely different from that of coastal courses: the air is cooler, the light is purer, and the surrounding silence is deeply soothing.
In summer, the golf course becomes a true oasis of coolness a welcome relief when temperatures soar on the Côte d’Azur.
