My wife and I stayed at the hotel on Opio valbonne golf course Aug 2013. What a great golf course! Brilliantly designed on a fabulous stretch of land by D Harradine. Please don't listen to the other posts, Grande Bastide golf course is a field with holes on it compared to opio valbonne.If you're staying in the area and want to play decent and enjoyable courses then Claux amic (formerly grasse country club) is a cracker, really tight but brilliantly designed with quick tricky greens and stunning views. St Maxime blue green is also a great course with stunning views of st Tropez bay and well worth the 45 min drive from valbonne. Three great golf courses all for around 75 euros, unless you can find a deal on line (we paid 52 euros each at st Maxime including a buggy.Having played a lot in Portugal I am very impressed with the courses in cote d'azur.

We played Opio Golf Course for the 3rd time in the past year. First time was September 2009 when we were told upon arrival that we would have to play the front nine twice because the greens were recently pole forked on the back nine therefore the back nine were out of play on the Day.The second time we played was in November 2009 when it took us 4.25 Hrs to play 15 Holes and we had to abandon our game or miss dinner with Friends.The third time we played the Course was today April 9th when it took us 3 Hrs to play 10 Holes so we abandoned again. 5.5 Hours plus to play 18 Holes of Golf is crazy and at a cost for 2 of €160.00 it is expensive too.However we would have lived with the cost had we been able to get around the Course in a reasonable time of say 3.5/4.0 Hours.I am afraid we will not be returning for a 4th time to Opio Golf Club.
Sincerely,
Tommy Murray.

The most expensive course we played in the region and definitely came third behind Saint Donat and Grande Bastide. The front nine appears to be quite new and is ok rather than good. The back nine is a lot more mature and much better, although the greens were not great. Still worth a visit but at 70 euros a round its a tad too expensive.
