Cannes-Mandelieu Old Course – A Historic Golf Coaching Experience with STAYnGOLF on the French Riviera
If you are looking for a memorable Golf Coaching Holiday on the French Riviera, the Cannes-Mandelieu Old Course is a destination that every golfer should experience.
Founded in 1891, it is one of the oldest golf courses in France and one of the most iconic layouts on the Côte d’Azur. Located in the heart of Mandelieu-La Napoule, just a few minutes from Cannes, the Old Course combines history, elegance and an enjoyable golfing experience in a unique urban setting surrounded by magnificent umbrella pines.
During your STAYnGOLF Golf Coaching Holiday, you will discover this historic course alongside your PGA coach. From the moment you leave STAYnGOLF, every detail is organised for you, allowing you to relax and concentrate entirely on your golf while benefiting from expert guidance throughout the round.
Why STAYnGOLF Chooses the Cannes-Mandelieu Old Course
Every golf course included in the STAYnGOLF programme has been selected because it teaches golfers something different.
The Old Course is perfect for players who want to improve accuracy, course management and confidence.
Unlike mountain courses or long championship layouts, the Old Course is almost entirely flat, making it comfortable to walk and far less physically demanding. This allows golfers to focus their energy on strategy, decision-making and shot execution rather than coping with steep slopes or difficult climbs.
It is an ideal course for golfers who want to enjoy eighteen holes while learning how intelligent positioning and precision can produce better scores.
A Unique Golf Course in the Heart of Mandelieu
Very few golf courses in Europe offer such a distinctive setting.
The Old Course is located right in the centre of Mandelieu-La Napoule, creating a unique atmosphere where golf and the French Riviera lifestyle come together.
Although surrounded by the town, once you step onto the fairways you find yourself beneath magnificent century-old umbrella pines in a peaceful and elegant environment.
Its central location also makes it one of the most accessible golf courses during your STAYnGOLF holiday, allowing you to maximise your time on the course and your coaching experience.
Cross the River Siagne – A Truly Unique Golf Experience
One of the most famous moments at the Cannes-Mandelieu Old Course is the crossing of the River Siagne.
To reach several of the holes, golfers board the club’s charming electric ferry, which transports players across the river before continuing the round.
Very few golf courses in the world offer such a memorable feature.
For many international golfers, this short crossing becomes one of the highlights of their entire stay on the French Riviera and adds even more character to an already historic golf course.
It is one of those unique experiences that makes playing the Old Course unforgettable.
Precision Golf Beneath the Umbrella Pines
Although the Old Course is relatively flat and enjoyable to walk, it should never be underestimated.
The mature umbrella pines beautifully frame many of the fairways, rewarding golfers who value accuracy over power.
Strategically positioned bunkers protect landing areas and greens, encouraging thoughtful club selection and intelligent course management.
Playing alongside your STAYnGOLF PGA coach helps you understand where to position your tee shots, how to approach each green and how to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
Every hole becomes an opportunity to improve your decision-making and lower your scores.

Why Accompanied Coaching Makes the Difference
Many golfers discover a new course by trial and error.
At STAYnGOLF, you discover it with expert guidance.
Your PGA coach accompanies you throughout the round, helping you understand each hole before you play it. Together, you discuss strategy, club selection, shot shape and the safest landing areas according to your own level of play.
This personalised approach removes uncertainty and allows you to play with greater confidence from the first tee to the final putt.
Instead of simply enjoying a historic golf course, you leave with a better understanding of your own game and practical skills that can be transferred to every course you play.
Continue Improving at the STAYnGOLF Indoor Studio
