Golf courses
Challenging yet impressively eye-catching, located in the Landes Nature Reserve. Off the tee you can be adventurous but for approaches there is a lot of water in play and if you take risks you could regret it!

Gujan-Mestras Les Lacs (Golf de Gujan-Mestras)
A short distance from the huge dunes at Pyla, this tough course has been carved out of the Landes pine forest. There are also plenty of water hazards and with the towering pines, island greens, and dazzling white sand of the bunkers, it's no wonder this has been likened to course typical to Florida, but in south west France. They have a 30 bay driving range of which 10 are covered.
