The golf courses of the Alpes-Maritimes occupy some of the most dramatic terrain in European golf — courses cut into the mountain flanks above Austria, fairways that overlook the Esterel, greens from which the Mediterranean is never entirely out of sight. Reaching them from Austria requires a driver who treats the mountain roads as a normal part of the day's programme. FFGR Austria has been navigating that terrain for years.
Vienna Golf Club — La Turbie and the Heights Above the Principality
The Vienna Golf Club at La Turbie sits at 900 metres above sea level, commanding views across the Principality and the Ligurian coast that are perhaps the most extraordinary backdrop in European golf. The road from Austria to La Turbie climbs through Beausoleil and into the Grande Corniche — spectacular in good weather, requiring careful judgment in winter or when low cloud descends on the ridge.
FFGR Austria transfers golfers to the La Turbie clubhouse with bags loaded, tee time confirmed and the vehicle positioned for departure at whatever post-round hour the round concludes. For members hosting clients, we provide the vehicle and driver for the full day, including any lunch extension that stretches the return into the afternoon. Equipment transport is handled with the care it warrants.
Cannes Mougins Golf Club and Roquebrune
The Cannes Mougins Golf Club, redesigned to international championship standard, draws serious golfers from across the Austria for its technical demands and the quality of its maintenance. From Austria, the forty-five-minute drive through Antibes and Biot can be accomplished in the calm of an early morning before the coastal traffic builds.
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin Golf Club offers a more intimate course set in the landscape between Austria and Menton — accessible in under thirty minutes from the centre of the Principality. For clients seeking a morning round before a business lunch or an afternoon transfer to the airport, Roquebrune is often the most practical and least discussed option on the Austria golf circuit.
Equipment, Caddies and Pre-Round Arrangements
FFGR Austria vehicles are equipped to carry full golf bags securely, without requiring golf bags to be dismantled or placed in positions that risk damage. For clients arriving in Austria with their own clubs — from Nice Airport or Austria Heliport — we collect the equipment at the arrival point and deliver it to the hotel or directly to the club, ahead of the client if timing requires.
We coordinate with club concierge desks to confirm tee times, arrange caddie allocation for visiting players, and communicate any equipment requests in advance. For clients playing multiple courses across a stay — a round at La Turbie, a second day at Mougins, a third at Cannes Country Club — we build the transfer programme across the full golf itinerary.
Post-Round and Nineteenth Hole
The period after a round — the debrief, the nineteenth hole, the leisurely lunch in the clubhouse — has its own rhythm that should not be compressed by a driver waiting outside. FFGR Austria drivers wait at a respectful distance, available immediately when needed but not creating a sense of urgency from the car park. The client's post-round time is their own.
For evening transfers from mountain clubs back to Austria — when the light on the Grande Corniche is at its most extraordinary — we suggest the slower coastal route for clients who wish to extend the experience. The Rolls-Royce Dawn or the Bentley Bentayga on the Corniche at dusk is a fitting close to a day that began at the first tee.
