Junior Golf Académie
The only one of its kind in the region, the Junior Golf Académie is a golf academy in Alpes-Maritimes with first-class facilities for teaching children golf and developing their game.
Your child will benefit from ongoing coaching from September to June (outside of school holidays) on two world-class 18-hole golf courses, at Opio Valbonne and Grande Bastide, and two driving ranges.
Our aim is to offer children a family environment where they can develop their game while having fun.
Our team of instructors will help students with every aspect of their game using a variety of educational tools during their lessons (including the latest generation TrackMan) and, if they are interested, prepare them for club, departmental, regional and national championships.

A unique experience
The Académie organises regular tournaments to assess your child’s progress.
With your input, our team will provide you with a table of information showing all the tournaments, dates of player pathway events, etc.
Fred Orselli, a long-time instructor at Opio Valbonne, will be able to guide you and answer all your questions.
The resort offers a set lunch menu that children/teenagers can enjoy before or after their lesson or game. It comprises a main course, dessert and non-alcoholic drink for 12 euros. They can also buy a book of drink vouchers valid in both golf club restaurants for one year.
