Located north of Biarritz, near the Adour estuary and only 200 m from the Corsairs beach, the Chiberta golf course is an 18-hole course set in the heart of nature.

Golf de Chantaco

At the gateway to Spain, in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, on the banks of the Nivelle, the Chantaco golf course welcomes you. This course designed by the British Harry Colt is very popular with celebrities and professional golfers. Created in 1928 and open all year round, it offers 9 and 18 hole starts and equipment rentals, and invites all visitors to participate in competitions.

Golf d'Arcangues

Located southeast of Biarritz, about 3 km from the beaches of Bidart, in a charming village in the Basque hinterland, Golf d'Arcangues is for players who prefer tranquility and contact with nature to the busy courses on the Basque coast. The Club House is housed in a superb building and the views over the Pyrenees are breathtaking. The golf course has an excellent restaurant.

Golf de Biarritz Le Phare

Located between the municipalities of Biarritz and Anglet, the Golf du Phare welcomed its first players in 1888, a long tradition that converted Biarritz into a golfers' paradise in the Basque Country more than a century later. This 18-hole course stretches over a fabulous 34-hectare green estate with magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Golf de la Nivelle

Between Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, very close to Hendaye and Spain, the Golf de la Nivelle has been built in a pretty wooded park, on the banks of the coastal river that flows into the Bay of Biscay. The route, designed in 1907, winds its way through hills, river, mountain and ocean. An ideal setting with some technical difficulties that appeals to golf enthusiasts and nature lovers.

On this 18-hole course designed by the American Rocky Roquemore, the fairways coexist with the mountains. The wooded and hilly estate, combined with the tranquility of the area, gives it a special charm.
