A wonderful day in September, a very well-kept golf course with artistic surprises and very nice people after the game and a great meal in the clubhouse.
Here at the Barbossi Golf Club they have managed to bring art and golf into harmony, so that the focus is not only on the sport, but also the other beautiful things of the Côtes d'Azur come to the fore. Definitely worth a visit!

Have already played all the courses on the Cotes except Riveria. There are better ones. The layout is very funny, the holes are very short. I played from the back (white) teas, even then the space is short. Often you only have between 40 and 80 meters as a second shot into the green. The white tees were very neglected, sometimes not mowed at all and not put on two holes. The greens were good, but very slow. Bunker totally neglected. As in Germany Corona requires no rakes in the bunkers. Nevertheless, the greenkeeping team can go out in the morning and make the bunkers. I was on one of the first flights. Staff was very nice. Very helpful Marshall. There are not songs on all holes, a board how the hole runs and how long it is up to which obstacle. Definitely too expensive for 90 euros. As I said there are better places in the area. St Donat, Esterel, St Enedoc etc...

Our first Robert Trent Jones Sr. Course...
Reviewed October 9, 2019
... which we played in 1993, at that time the course was still young.
We can hardly believe it, we often did not play here. We can not handle this course, unlike l'Esterel Latitudes. The why would blow up the place here.
We play here for the third time...
The course is fine, for a Robert Trent Jones Course almost a little good.
Care and maintenance, because they have some catching up to do. It is not bad, but it does not meet the expectations you have for such a course.
The northern holes are a bit noisy, they border with the Autoroute A5, the rest is quiet.
All were for 3 stars.

Today I have played with my wife this beautiful, studded with art installations course! Top service in connection with rental clubsets, e-cart. Absolutely fair price for the whole package! Good restaurant - just spent wonderful hour! A & J

Not so nice anymore...
Reviewed September 24, 2018
In June: all right. End of September: very bad.
Maybe it was the very warm summer. Maybe too many tourists. Maybe you do not give yourself so much trouble... I can understand the brown spots on the fairways, it was actually very hot and dry in the summer. But unkempt bunkers, overgrown bunker edges, too soft greens, parched Vorgreens, unpredictable haircuts and various types of grass everywhere have the golfing a bit clouded. It will probably be a while before we play in Riviera Barbossi again.

Nice despite rain
Reviewed June 6, 2018
Played the place on a rainy June afternoon. Special tariff EUR 49, because you can not say anything. Not all holes are spectacular or very long, but the money is worth the place anyway. With handicap 11 from white he makes fun, the many elevated teas on the second 9 entice to impetuous driver use... Fairways well maintained, greens OK, staff friendly. Pleasant day despite wetness.

Beautifully integrated into the natural
Reviewed May 28, 2015
We played 9 holes. Disadvantage: you have to walk or drive back the track again. Also in the first 9 holes and more-wide fairways for each level of play peppered with art and sand bunkers or water. interesting 2er hole short distance from hill (tee) to Green (second hill). Conditioning for us very nice and quiet, what else is not the case in Mandelieu.

Not worth the money
Reviewed December 31, 2012
The place is way too expensive - € 120! Driving Position is in miserable condition. The clubhouse is nice, though not comfortable and the kitchen was already closed around 1600 clock and so we could not cater for the round. The place is quite interesting and challenging even if the tracks are very short - barely a couple 4 longer than 300 meters. The hole descriptions at the tee boxes are a disaster - verwarlost, not only scale and in many cases it is not clear where you have to play out. Overall, the place, mainly because of the blatantly high price, a disappointment. Unfortunately, the green fee information in Albrecht Golf Guide is not current.

All right
Reviewed July 21, 2012
This place impresses with a very elegant club house, well maintained fairways and greens as well as interesting works of art that are eye-catching at every corner. The place is very easy and quite rightly rated. In particular, the first nine holes are easy to play. In the second nine to fight with mountain and valley, if you do not go with the card. But for sports people is doable. Interesting holes are also there. Overall, we had something to cool the atmosphere and the place a bit expensive compared to others with the same level. For example, we were two days ago at Golf de Roquebrune-sur-Argent and you have to just say: For 30 € less to play there on the even more beautiful place.

Mediterranean environment
Reviewed September 18, 2011
Characterizes this course, which was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.. The site is located in Mandelieu, set back from the actual location so that you feel clearly noticeable in the slopes at the foot of the Esterel Mountains. Several holes have terraced discounts that between men (yellow) and women (blue) can make like 80-100 m height difference. Bunkers defending each green, sometimes to the absurd design at hole 5, where one finds virtually no landing zone. The place (like many in this area) is practically the only playable with Cart (45 € extra charge) - our attempt bags as usual, to carry himself, became a fitness test. There was even nicer, 19 to enjoy the beautifully situated terrace...
