For an active and rewarding holiday in Nice, golf might prove to be an elegant solution at hand. In Nice as such there are several golf courses, but for more extensive pursuits, tourists can always rely on the golf courses in the surroundings of Nice or on those which can be spotted throughout the French Riviera. The main drawback of the second alternative is the distance one has to cover between Nice and the said golf clubs.

Yet, on the other hand, most of the clubs throughout the Riviera enjoy a high rating, from both a professional and a tourist point of view, which is why, in the end, the trips are worth making.
