Biarritz - A great place to golf
Day1 This 5 day trip starts with an early morning BA flight from London to Bordeaux. After a drive down the coast and an early check in at Le President Hotel in the centre of town, a quick change and we head to the Biarritz training ground for a light practise and 9 holes on the stunning course on the coast. Every hole has views of the French and Spanish coastline, the Atlantic as far as you can see and the Pyrenees for a back drop. After golf dinner is at Le Caritz restaurant, famous for seafood and cote de beuf with frites.
Day 2, After a classic french breakfast we head to the Biarritz training Academy, 2 hours practise we then have 18 holes at Makila Golf Club, a beautiful course and a real test. Dinner that evening is at Chez Albert, one of the best seafood restaurants in France, a big boast but actually true!
Day 3 Again 2 hours coaching at the Academy and then over to Seignosse Golf Club, the biggest challenge of the week, with some similarities to Augusta this course is long with tree lined fairways and well positioned water hazards. Tough but fun, it is always well maintained and one of the best golf courses in the area. Dinner that evening is 20minutes down the Autoroute into Spain for some tapas and then paella in San Sebastien.
Day 4 Again 2 hours coaching at the Academy but today we play at Biarritz Le Phare, dating back to 1888 Le Phare is one of the oldest golf courses in France and has hosted the Ladies European Tour French Open, it's always in beautiful condition and a joy to play. Dinner that evening is at Le Baleak, a local basque restaurant that is getting a name for producing fantastic dishes all from locally sourced ingredients.
