Golf de Biarritz le Phare
Biarritz, Aquitaine, France
Golf de Biarritz Le Phare is one of the most iconic golf courses in France, a compact yet supremely characterful layout perched on the clifftops above the Atlantic in the heart of Biarritz. Established in the nineteenth century, it carries a pedigree matched by few courses on the continent, having hosted kings, celebrities and championship events across its long history. The course's intimate scale belies its difficulty: the ocean views are magnificent, but it is the demands of the design — tight fairways, plateau greens and unrelenting winds — that define the experience. Le Phare is a pilgrimage for any serious golfer visiting the Basque coast and stands alongside Chiberta and Chantaco as a jewel of Aquitaine golf.
