  • Accommodation

    TBC

  • Golf Transfers

    Golf Course transfers are included - timetable will be released closer to the time of the event. 

  • Buggies, Electric Trolleys & Pull Trolleys

    Shared Buggies are included at Terre Blanche & Royal Mougins.

    Buggies & Electric Trolleys are limited in availability at all the courses. If you would like us to book a Buggy or Electric Trolley for you, please let Debbie and Kelly know as soon as possible by email to info@gmmltd.co.uk.

    Priority will be given to golfers with a medical condition and then it will be based on a first come, first served.

    We cannot guarantee to meet all requests.

    Cannes Old Course and Cannes Mougins are both flat courses, making them comfortable for walking.

  • Format & Handicaps

    Format:  The scoring format each day will be individual Stableford. 

    Handicaps:  Playing Handicap will be set at 95% of Course Handicap. The maximum Playing Handicaps are 24 for men and 30 for ladies. If your handicap exceeds these limits, you can still play, but for competition purposes, you’ll play off these limits.

    All four rounds will be run under the World Handicap System (WHS). Scores will not automatically be forwarded to your Golf Union.  Participants MUST return their daily scores to their golf club. The easiest way to do this is to forward the email from Golf Genius, which will be received after each round, and provides details of your scores.

    GAGT Overseas Handicap System (OHA):  Handicaps will be adjusted after each round in line with the GAGT OHA system. The GAGT OHA system is based on the CONGU handicap system prior to the introduction of WHS. Adjustments made by the GAGT OHA system will not affect your club Handicap Index.

    The GAGT OHA system takes precedence over adjustments made by a player’s home club to ensure consistency. Details of the GAGT OHA system can be provided upon request.

    Daily Draw:  The draw for the first two rounds will be available on the website a week before the event.

    The draw for the last round will be made in score order.

    In the last round, the leaders will go out last.

    Rules:  The R&A Rules of Golf and local rules apply - No Gimmies. 

     

    Participants can use the message facility in their Locker/Account for requests such as playing partners and early or late tee times. The organisers will do their best to accommodate these requests.

  • Cannes

    Cannes, set along the stunning French Riviera, is world-famous for its glamour, golden beaches, and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. Just beyond the palm-lined Croisette, the hills and countryside open up to some of southern France’s most scenic and challenging golf courses. With easy access from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport and countless restaurants, boutiques, and seaside cafés, Cannes is the ideal base for a luxurious golf getaway.

    June is one of the best months to visit Cannes for golf. Expect long, sun-filled days with average highs around 26°C (79°F) and pleasant evenings perfect for al fresco dining. Rain is rare, and a light sea breeze keeps conditions comfortable.

  • Order of Merit

    Merit points will be awarded for all rounds.

    Points will be awarded on the basis of 100 points to the winner, 99 points for runner-up, 98 points for third, and so on.

    Participants need to be a current member of the GAGT to qualify for merit points.

    To check membership status and join, call Kelly/Debbie on 0345 466 2222.  The subscription fee is £40 for 12 months from the day of joining.

  • London to Cannes

    You can travel from London to Cannes in several ways. The quickest is to fly, with direct flights taking about 2 hours, though you need to allow extra time for getting to the airport and transfers at the other end. Travelling by train via Paris is more scenic and comfortable but takes around 10–12 hours. Driving gives you flexibility and can be done in about 13–14 hours plus the Channel crossing, but it’s a long journey with fuel and toll costs.

  • How Far is Cannes Airport from the City Centre?

    Cannes–Mandelieu Airport (CEQ) is about 5–6 km west of Cannes city centre.

    It usually takes:

    10–15 minutes by car or taxi (depending on traffic)

    Many travellers, however, fly into Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), which is about 27 km from Cannes and takes roughly 30–40 minutes by car, taxi, or airport shuttle.
