Makila Golf Club

Makila Golf Club is a private club in the Basque Country of Aquitaine, situated in the lush green hills between Bayonne and the Pyrenean foothills. The club takes its name from the traditional Basque walking stick, a symbol of Basque cultural identity, and that local pride permeates the atmosphere of the club. The course occupies rolling, verdant terrain characteristic of the Basque interior, where Atlantic moisture feeds year-round green playing surfaces. Elevation changes add strategic variety to the layout, and the surrounding hedgerows and rural Basque farmhouses create an environment quite distinct from the coastal courses of Biarritz or the pine forests of the Landes. Makila caters primarily to a loyal membership but welcomes visitors who seek an authentic Basque golfing experience away from the busier resort clubs.
