French Riviera villa with Royal Mougins Club membership

TotallyRiviera.com, property agents on the Cote d’Azur, are the sole marketeers for a two double bedroom villa on the Royal Mougins golf course that includes with the sale price a couple’s membership to the exclusive course.

Golf clubs are notoriously elusive, none more so than The Royal Mougins Golf Club just outside of Cannes on the Cote d'Azur.

Established in 1993 the privately owned club boasts a par 71 championship course over 6556 yards and is consistently ranked amoungst the world's best courses. The course and its facilities are located in the Medieval village of Mougins, just 10 minutes from Cannes and 20 from Nice's airport.

Its Provencal landscape is dominated by olive trees on ancient stone wall terraces and as such creates a playing field of spectacular natural beauty. No suprise that in 1999 Royal Mougins was invited to the association of the 'Finest Golf Clubs of the World.'

The price tag (35,000 Euros) alone makes the membership somewhat out of reach for most, but the club have also decided to close the books at 700 members. The club confirmed this week that they have under 100 places left.

Still, if you're keen enough to join the likes of Michael Douglas, Pierre Fulke and Ian Woosnan on the green then a tidy way to join might be to buy a property on the course, complete with membership.

TotallyRiviera.com are the sole agents for a two, double bedroom villa striking distance from the 11th hole, nestled between two sweeping fairways. The property, available fully furnished, carries a price tag of 651,000 Euros but included in the package is a couple's membership to the club.

Besides the golf, members will benefit from the additional club facilities; a swimming pool, tennis courts, fine dining restaurants or the soon to be complete spa. So if you're looking to add a certain je ne sais quoi to your game, a villa chez Royal Mougins could be just the thing to tee your golfing buddies off.
