Makila golf club is the perfect place to get your swing right before taking on some of Aquitaine’s more testing courses. Be prepared for the hilly terrain though!
AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
Designed on a natural site of rolling hills and valleys, this is an excellent course. Golfers can open their shoulders slightly but beware the hilly terrain. A lovely Pays Basque style clubhouse.

Makila (Makila Golf Club)
Designed by the American architect Rocky Roquemore, this excellent 18 hole layout has been established on a beautifully natural site - an area of rolling hills and valleys and through an oak forest of trees that are many centuries old. Makila allows golfers to open their shoulders from the tee with the main defence coming from its hilly nature and the ancient oaks which line the fairways. The views are spectacular and with the majestic Pyrénées as a constant backdrop, it would be tough not to enjoy this course.
