Tennis & Golf de Valescure
The Dean of the Var
Established in 1895, Golf de Valescure is the oldest course in the Var region and one of the five oldest in all of France. The course is in the heart of a magnificent pine forest, featuring umbrella pines and cork oaks.
Located in Saint-Raphaëlbetween the Mediterranean Sea and the Estérel massif it captivates visitors as much for its heritage as for its natural setting. Although relatively short, the course demands excellent precision: narrow fairways, dense rough, small and well-defended greens, and several water hazards require careful strategic thinking for every shot.
Players will find that placement is far more important than raw power. Accessible year-round thanks to the Mediterranean climate, Valescure is well-suited both for experienced players and for golfers eager to discover a historic course with a distinct, bold character.
With its clubhouse, driving range, and high-quality facilities, it stands as an essential destination on the French Riviera.
