O 10 Zen sur Nice

18/01/2026: Forget the endless plains of Scotland. Here, we're in Nice: it's hilly, it's technical, and it's the only place where you can work on your swing while getting a "commando"-style calf workout. The Pros: Proximity: This is the ultimate luxury. No need to drive all the way to Mougins or Cannes. You can play a quick round between appointments or before picking up the kids. A green 10 minutes from the city center is almost indecent. The Driving Range: Ideal for letting off steam. You hit balls facing the hill, and even if you don't end up at the Masters in Augusta, it's still the best spot to relieve the stress of traffic jams on the Promenade des Anglais. The Restaurant (The 10th Hole): Probably the part of the course where everyone hits their shot. The terrace is pleasant, the welcome is friendly, and the food is better than your own score for the day would suggest. The downsides: The "Vertical" Terrain: Calling it a "course" is an understatement; it's a climb. Unless you're a mountain goat or you've taken a golf cart, prepare to finish the course out of breath and with a sudden urge to buy an ice axe rather than a putter. The Limited Space: It's a compact 9-hole course. If your drive tends to veer a little too far to the right or left, you have a 50% chance of ending up in a neighbor's garden or asking another golfer if they saw your honor (and your ball). The Prices: We're on the French Riviera, in the middle of residential hills. The price of the green fee is a gentle reminder that golf is a prestigious sport, even if you end up in the bunker for 20 minutes. Verdict: A little gem of technical skill for those who want to play without leaving town. It's family-friendly, it's green, and it's an excellent test of your accuracy (and your cardio). A word of advice: keep your eyes on the ball and your feet firmly planted, because the slope here is unforgiving!
