GOLF BLUEGREEN PAU-ARTIGUELOUVE

The Bluegreen golf course in Pau-Artiguelouve, 3rd GolfStars, is 10 minutes from downtown Pau (64) Pyrenees-Atlantiques, and 1 hour from the ski slopes and beaches. Its 18-hole course is dotted with water and palm trees at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains.

Opened in 1993, it was designed by Jean Garaïalde. It is a par 70 plain course of 5639 meters, accessible to all types of players. It is divided into two parts: the first 6 holes are narrow and tactical, and cross a wooded area called La Saligue. Be careful, the greens are narrow. The drives require a lot of precision if you don't want to look for your ball in the undergrowth. The last 12 holes extend into La Plaine and offer greater freedom in the strokes thanks to the width of the fairways. Dog-legs are numerous, as are water bodies. The greens are fast in season.

The practice is of high quality with 8 covered posts, 5 outdoor carpets and 2 grass posts. Covered stations are connected to Perfect Line screens and TopTracer technology, perfect for performance-seeking. The training area is complemented by a chipping-green, a putting green and 2 practice bunkers. A compact 6-hole Pitch and Putt, Par 18 422-metre course is dedicated to learning to golf and individual bookings.

The clubhouse offers a restaurant with exceptional views of the course and the Pyrenees. It is open daily from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., with a bar from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The restaurant offers a green-fee and meals. The pleasure of walking the 18 holes before meeting up with friends and enjoying the regional dishes in a green setting. Ideal for escaping away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
