situated together, tightly packed along the coast with a few in the nearby
national park.
The nightlife in the area is varied so you will find the right club or
bar for a great night of entertainment. The weather is pleasant and with the
sea air the entire region enjoys a fantastic climate for most of the year.
As well as Biarritz being renowned for its top quality golf there are
other recreation activities available, including climbing in the nearby
Pyrenees, tennis and even surfing. The region is littered with stunning
chateau's, villas and monuments which all add to the already atmospheric

Golf de Biarritz le Phare 
5942 yards par 69
It looks like being an easy course, which does not require any important physical efforts, but it’s really not. Its difficulty lies in his technicality and it is not that easy to score. 70 bunkers are there to remind us, if necessary is, that golf is, above all, a reflection and shrewdness affair. The greens are fast, the rough very cautious.

Arcangues Golf Club 
6334 yards par 72
The setting at Arcangues Golf Course provides beautiful views over the Basque countryside and the Pyrenees, and there is a nice balance between woodland holes and holes through open country. As it is often the case with Ronald Fream's courses, the bunkers and greens have been given a lot of careful thought, which is only logical for a course as short as this.
