Golf D'Arcangues: There's plenty of variety in terms of golfing terrain and surroundings here, but thankfully Fream's excellent layout holds them all together in a nicely balanced and very pleasant golf course. Where the front-nine is predominantly wooded, the back-nine loop is considerably more open, apart from three holes that circumnavigate a rambling old chateau.
There's plenty of elevation changes on the course, with many holes taking you up or downhill. A few make use of some flatter terrain. The generally good-width fairways lead to well-defended greens, which are great to putt on.
From the course the views are simply stunning. In the distance you'll see the mighty Pyrenees; in the foreground the wonderfully rolling and heavily wooded Basque countryside. If you have a camera ensure the batteries are still charged for the 17th tee, where you'll enjoy the best of all the views.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays (Nov-March).
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap (July & Aug): 35.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.
