Ten courses of great
fame extend along the coast of fifty kilometres.

The Golf of Moliets
Nearest
to the Jump Ocean Resort is a splendid Golf course with nine
and eighteen-hole courses. Built completely on sand, it is
playable all the year around.
Bordered with old pine trees,
it offers the setting of an old Golf with the very contemporary
design by Robert Trent Jones.
With four of the holes along
the Ocean and the coninfers all around ,this is the epitome
of a true links course. Other holes situated in the forest
with wide fairways give one the chance to strike the long
shots.
This examplary course
with its wide greens and its beautiful design was selected
the training ground by the French National teams.

The Golf of Seignosse
To
the South about fifteen kilometres from Moliets, a true jewel
designed by Robert Von Hagge, presenting all the characteristic
of the new Golf course: Le Golf de Seignosse.

through our local nature. Its undulating fairways and water
obstacles, are bordered with pine and oak trees, cane-apple
bushes. 6124 m in length, this Par 72 eighteen hole course
appeals to all players no matter what handicap. The water
obstacles increase the level technicality, The course is continuously
and meticulously maintained, it demands a high level of the
play. The larger greens offer a opportunity to play three
puts. It is a splendid Golf course giving great satisfaction,
only amplified by the very close ocean.

to the more expert golfer. |

The Golf of Hossegor
Just
a few kilometres from Seignosse, the Golf course of Hossegor
designed in 1930 by Tim Morisson is one the major elements
of this sea side resort.
Situated in the shelter of
the marine winds, in the pine forest, it is typically British.
The design and layout of Hossegor offers a course of championship
as well national and international levels. It is difficult
to negotiate for the average player due to the length of its
Par 4 holes in particular. The course being very green, corresponds
to the pure tradition of Golf. A course which has seen the
birth of many great golfers.
An absolute must to
see and play whilst one is visiting the area. |
