1. Arcachon International Golf Course, Arcachon
The course, whose tree lined fairways are set in natural forests of maritime pines, mimosas, oaks and evergreen strawberry bushes, is hilly on the front nine and flatter over the back nine with several water hazards.
Great course for all levels from beginner through to experienced, in a beautiful natural environment. A private golf course originally opened in the area in 1895, and then in 1902 the town of Arcachon acquired the grounds. It was later moved to its current site where it was extended from 9 to 18 holes and the new clubhouse was built. This was only completed in 1960.
