Biarritz Golfing Experience will ensure that you are collected from your hotel by chauffeur and dropped at the first tee at the beautiful Biarritz Le Phare. This is the second oldest course in mainland Europe at which a great sense of history pervades. Understandably so after having been built and tinkered with by legendary course architects Willie Dunn and Harry Colt. Your clubs will await you and after a few practise swings you'll be off down the first fairway and enjoying a very pleasant par 69. As ever though, if the course has been unkind, solace can be sought in the smart clubhouse which provides the expected high standard of lunch and refreshments that we come to expect in Biarritz. Biarritz Your second day in Biarritz, and your chauffeur and clubs eagerly await you after a leisurely breakfast, delivering you to Golf de Seignosse

Demanding, beautiful and completely unforgettable, Golf de Seignosse is a totally enjoyable experience from the moment you arrive in the newly refurbished and contemporary club house and then later step on to the first tee. A must play golf course that demands great respect and which won't take any prisoners.

Like its nearby neighbour at Golf de Moliets, only the brave or those of you sitting at the bottom of the tour points table will “grip it and rip it”, at Golf de Seignosse. This course is hilly in places and certainly a feast for the eyes. However, on reaching the 11th tee and despite the earlier advice, it’s the perfect place to draw breath, take the big beast from the golf bag and launch one into the distant beyond. The course at Golf de Seignosse was constructed at about the same time as Moliets when local golfing patrons must have thought all their Christmases had arrived at once. Oak and cork trees, of which there are many on the golf course line the fairways and should your golf ball wander off in their direction, don’t despair as these areas are well managed and normally allow an escape back into play. Your chauffeur will escort you back to the Radisson Blu for your final memorable night in Biarritz. Biarritz to London After breakfast, take the high speed TGV back to Paris (journey time approximately 5 hours) before transferring onto your Eurostar home. Unique, historical, breathtaking and completely unforgettable. Take the journey, live the dream. Call Biarritz Golfing Experience now on 01202 433074.
