It was in Pau, at the foot of the Pyrenean mountains, that continental Europe’s first golf course was built in 1856. A few years later, in 1888, France’s second course was inaugurated in Biarritz…
Since then, dozens of golf courses have been laid out in the valleys of Périgord and Lot-et-Garonne, in the shade of the pine trees of the Landes forest, or overlooking the Ocean.
Some of the best-known of them: Ilbaritz, Seignosse, Moliets, Casteljaloux, Rochebois, Bordeaux-Pessac, Margaux, Chiberta…
In total, there are 51 courses in Aquitaine, all offering different landscapes, views and moments of relaxation in the open air, and all in a gentle oceanic climate.
A great many of them also offer accommodation – residences, villas or 4-star hotels. And after a round of golf what better than to go to a good restaurant or to eat in the refined atmosphere of the club house, or perhaps to take a look at the surrounding heritage.
Note that the Aquitaine golf passes offer preferential rates for green fees,
to be chosen from among our partner golf clubs. Ideal for the itinerant golfer.
