Designed in 1966 by the renowned English course architect, Donald Harradine, the course straddles the two communes of Opio and Valbonne. It is one of the most popular courses among local players and foreign visitors alike. The front nine demands excellent approach shots and iron play, while the back nine tests players’ skill with their drivers and woods.
