Pau travel guide

Golf in Pau: courses, history and planning your stay

Pau has a special place in European golf history. Staying in the city centre lets you combine a round of golf with the Château, the Boulevard des Pyrénées and the restaurants of the historic centre.

A historic golf destination

Founded in 1856, Pau Golf Club is generally regarded as the oldest golf club in continental Europe. Its wooded setting in Billère is only a short drive from Les Terrasses d’Étigny.

Prepare your round

Check visitor access, tee-time availability, dress rules and current course conditions directly with the club. Booking ahead is advisable, particularly at weekends and during competitions.

A practical base in Pau

The apartments provide private parking, Wi-Fi and an independent arrival. After your round, you can leave the car in the garage and enjoy central Pau on foot.

Before setting off: confirm your tee time, allow time for equipment hire if needed, and check the weather. The foothills can bring quick changes in conditions.
