A new edition of this not-to-be-missed amateur tournament on the French Riviera!
The Golf Clubs of La Grande Bastide and Opio Valbonne celebrate the start of summer every year by organizing the unmissable amateur tournament on the Côte d’Azur.
On June 21st and 22nd, participants gathered at these two remarkable golf courses in the Resonance Collection to compete in individual Stableford competitions. The courses, carefully prepared by the grounds crews, were worthy of the most prestigious competitions.
Participants had the opportunity to discover many new features this year, starting with the arrival of the Golf de Moliets to the Resonance Collection. Once again this year, golfers enjoyed quality facilities, enhanced by recent developments. At the Opio Valbonne Golf Club, the short game area, inaugurated last year—with its 400 m² putting green and over 500 m² pitching green—continues to offer an ideal setting for improving your game. Meanwhile, the Grande Bastide Golf Club continues its transformation with an equally ambitious approach: after the new terraces, the modernized pro shop, the redesigned parking lot, the vast practice area of nearly 5,000 m², and the “Victoire” restaurant, a new driving range will soon be built. This new practice space, on which work began a few weeks ago, will further enhance the site’s appeal. A dynamic of evolution that remains firmly anchored.
