Golf de Valescure

About the club

Created in 1895 by British aristocrats, the Golf de Valescure, surrounded by Pins Parasols, is the oldest course in the Var and the 5th in the whole hexagon. With a length of 5019 meters for a Par of 68, its design by the famous architect Harry Shapland Colt (1869 - 1951) has the particularity of offering several relatively short holes, which, at first glance, may make it seem easy to negotiate. The impression is misleading because, in fact, the narrowness of the fairways, difficult roughs, numerous water hazards and rather small greens are all elements that require constant reflection and wisdom in the choice of clubs. Indeed, one must know how to sacrifice length for precision.
