Group Golf Holidays in French Riviera
French Riviera By The Golf Planet Holidays Team · Golf-travel specialists since 1981 · Published 1 June 2026 At a glance Who handles the booking for our group? One named Golf Planet Holidays specialist owns your trip end to end. The same person prices it, books every tee time at Saint Endreol, Terre Blanche, Esterel […]
Getting eight, twelve, or sixteen golfers to the same first tee on the same morning is a real piece of organisation, and you already know that if you are the one being asked to sort it. The French Riviera makes it worth the effort: limestone hills, umbrella pines, the Mediterranean a few minutes down the road, and championship golf clustered close enough that your group can play a different course each morning and still be back for a long lunch in the sun. From £495 per person, Golf Planet Holidays builds the whole thing around your group rather than dropping you into a fixed package.
What matters most when there are sixteen of you is who is holding it together. One named specialist takes the tee times, the rooming list, the transfers and the running order off your plate and turns them into a single itinerary that simply works. We have been doing exactly this, tailor-made, since 1981, and for groups we also run hosted and escorted tours where a host travels with you. This page walks you through the Riviera venues, the courses, and how a group trip actually comes together.
Where your group stays on the Riviera
The base you choose sets the tone of the whole week, and the Riviera gives a group three genuinely different characters to pick from.
Domaine de Saint Endreol Golf & Spa, Le Muy is the most natural fit for a self-contained golf group. The course is on the doorstep, the spa is there for tired legs, and a group of sixteen can dominate the place pleasantly without ever feeling like they are imposing on it. It is the easy yes when the priority is golf, rooms and a bar that is still open when the last fourball comes in.
Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort, Tourrettes is the step up. Two championship courses on site, a serious spa, and the kind of resort that makes the trip feel like an occasion. This is the choice for a milestone group, a company trip with something to celebrate, or the year you all agreed to do it properly.
Le Mas Candille, Mougins is the elegant, hilltop option above Cannes, for a smaller group within the eight-to-sixteen range who want the boutique, leave-the-resort-and-explore feel rather than golf-on-the-doorstep. Your specialist will steer you to the right base once they know who is travelling and what the week is really for.
The courses your group can play
The Riviera’s strength for a group is variety within a short drive, so no two mornings feel the same.
Saint Endreol, Le Muy is dramatic and memorable, the par-three over the lake the hole everyone photographs and argues about afterwards. Terre Blanche gives you two distinct championship tests: the Château and the Riou, ideal for splitting a large group across two courses on the same day or playing both back to back. Esterel at Valescure and the classic Valescure course at Saint Raphaël are the more relaxed, tree-lined, walkable rounds that high-handicappers love and everyone enjoys, perfect for the middle day when the group wants golf without a brutal card. And Claux Amic at Grasse, up in the perfume-town hills, is the scenic, springy mountain round that sends everyone home talking about the views.
Your specialist sequences these across the week so the order of play, the difficulty and the travel times all suit your particular sixteen, not a generic itinerary.
Where our specialists would stay in French Riviera
How a group trip actually comes together
It starts with an enquiry, not a checkout button. You tell us roughly how many are travelling, the spread of handicaps, the rough dates and the budget, and your named specialist comes back with a tailor-made plan, priced per person in pounds, from £495. From there it is a conversation, not a transaction. We adjust the courses, the base and the number of rounds until it fits the group, then lock tee times, rooming and transfers into one itinerary.
Because every payment is held in trust with PTS until you travel and the whole holiday is ATOL Protected, the organiser collecting money from fifteen friends is never personally exposed. For groups who would rather not run the week themselves, our hosted and escorted tours put a Golf Planet Holidays host on the ground to handle the daily logistics, so the organiser can finally just play.
A note for groups travelling from the US
If your group is coming from the States, the Riviera is one of the best-value golf weeks in Europe once you are across the Atlantic. Pricing is set and held in pounds, which has worked in American groups’ favour in recent years, and resort golf of this standard, two championship courses on site at Terre Blanche, a spa, full board, sits well below comparable destination-golf pricing back home. We arrange your golf, accommodation and transfers as a tailor-made ground package and add flights as an option, so you can fly into Nice and let your specialist handle everything from the runway onward. One contact, one itinerary, your money protected in trust until you have travelled, the same as it is for every group we send.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum group size for a Riviera golf trip?
We tailor trips for groups of all sizes, and this page is written for the classic eight-to-sixteen golfer group of friends or colleagues. Smaller and larger groups are very welcome too; the only thing that changes is how your specialist blocks the tee times and rooming. Send an enquiry with your numbers and we will build it around you.
Can players of very different handicaps all enjoy the same week?
Yes. That is exactly what the course variety is for. Your specialist mixes the demanding rounds at Terre Blanche’s Riou and Saint Endreol with the more relaxed, walkable golf at Valescure and Esterel, and sets the pairings and tee-time order so the strong players are tested and the higher handicappers enjoy themselves. Nobody is left behind.
Is our money safe if we pay as a group?
Yes. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and all payments are held in trust with PTS until your group has actually travelled. The funds are ring-fenced, not spent running the business, which matters most when one organiser is collecting and paying on behalf of everyone.
Do you arrange flights and transfers, or just the golf?
We arrange the full ground package, golf, accommodation and airport transfers, as standard, and flights are available as an ATOL-protected option, which is particularly useful for groups travelling from the US. Whether you book flights with us or arrive under your own steam, your transfers and entire itinerary are handled by your one named specialist.
