Rocky Roquemore has produced an American style layout set beneath the Pyrenees. Makila is a recent creation 5 miles southeast of Biarritz, with a variety of holes and hazards ranging from mountainside holes to lower-level holes edged with water hazards.

This is a pretty hilly golf course (3 holes in particular) but it would have been difficult to do otherwise in this superb region. If you are not in top shape, take a buggy as this course plays 6200 metres from the back tees and so is a good test for the better player, but the middle tees are perfect for the mid-handicapper.

The hazards are visible and the strategy pretty obvious as difficulties are evenly spread around the course.

Maintenance is good although the terrain often suffers in wet weather. A drainage programme should solve that one.

The Biarritz Golf Pass can be used at this course
