Golfing near Monaco
How far to the Nearest Golf club from Monaco?
It’s probably not the first sport you would associate with Monaco, but there is in fact a plethora of excellent golf courses near the Principality to cater for all ages and abilities of golfers.
Indeed, Monaco might well be the second smallest and most densely populated country in the world but beyond the high rise apartment blocks and skyscrapers are at least half a dozen golf clubs within an hour’s drive from the city centre.
Here are some of our favourite greens for the budding Ballesteros’ amongst you.
Golf de Monte-Carlo, La Turbie
The closest course to Monaco is the Golf de Monte-Carlo, located on the Route du Mont Agel in La Turbie. The course, which lies at 900 metres, is open all year round and enjoys some of the best views of any club in the world. At just ten minutes from the centre of Monaco, it is ideal for a quick game between business meetings or a spot of sightseeing. www.montecarlosbm.com/wellness-sport/leisure/monte-carlo-golf-club/
Golf Club de San Remo
The next closest golf course to Monaco will suit those of you who feel more familiar in Italian than in French. Located in San Remo, just 28km from Monaco, the Golf de San Remo boats an extremely good 18-hole course which was built in 1932. It has since hosted a large number of important golfing events such as the Masters, the Italian Open and the Italian PGA Championship. www.golfsanremo.com

“The Royal Mougins Golf Course is a par 71 with a length of 6 004 m. Robert von Hagge has consciously used both the rolling hills and the lower, flatter forest area in the valley in order to create a golf course with a maximum of variety and different landscape scenarios. The course area comprises 8 lakes linked together with a river system with waterfalls and quiet streams.” http://www.royalmougins.fr/en/
