Golf Country Club Saint Donat: If you want to give your golf game a thorough workout in pleasant parkland surroundings, then Saint Donat will certainly oblige. Here beside the small La Mourachonne river in the Grand Vallon de Grasse, Robert Trent Jones Jr has created a good but tough layout in a relatively compact area.
The opening and closing holes require precise driving, with the river an ever-present danger. In the middle section of the course there is a lot less water (the par-3 10th excepted) and more room to manouevre from the tee. However, good bunkering and large greens will keep you on your toes.
The layout includes a few blind drives, although much of the time you play from nicely elevated tee boxes that give a clear view of the hazards ahead.
On the way round you'll encounter two substantial derelict villas. One is marked on the scorecard as a 4-star hotel, which may perhaps be the case, but only if they replace the missing doors, windows and roof!
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7).
After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
