Golf of Chiberta
Chiberta is one of the most prestigious 18 hole golf courses in the Basque country. The par 70 course over a distance of 5,647 metres offers opportunities for practice by the lake, as well as a less demanding nine-hole course, the par 29 over 1,425 metres Golf de l'Impératrice.
Located in Anglet, on the coast North of Biarritz, Chiberta heads
down to the ocean shore after meandering for a while through pine trees. Half the course is genuine links beside the sea-wall, the other half plays through the pine forests.
With fewer difficulties, the course is more accessible to all golfers. The absence of any real relief with the comfort of sandy soil seaside and a natural terrain make it a pleasant walk.
It was designed and completed back in 1927 by the legendary amateur golf architect Tom Simpson, who was asked by the Prince of Wales to create « the best course in Europe ».
The Golf offers a restaurant and a Bar, a near-by hotel, a pro shop, changing rooms, practice facilities, as well as electric buggy and trolley hire.
