It's quite a new club and the clubhouse isn't charming like Pau Golf Club's one but the course made up for this.
The course is 5839m from the back tees (in France the back tees are white) and it is a very flat course with numerous doglegs. It is also very scenic as there is a great view of the Pyrenees from most of the holes.
I joined a group of three gentleman (Philippe, Patrice and Jean) who must have been in their 50s and they all played off single digits.
The fairways are quite wide so there are plenty of opportunities to unleash the beast unlike in Pau Golf Club, where the fairways can be very narrow.
I played quite well and I parred all the Par 3s.
One of the strange things about playing golf in France is that the only distance marker for each hole is 135m from the green. They don't have the normal 200m, 150m and 100m markers!

The gentlemen with whom I played had an interesting tradition of having a shot of Armagnac whenever anyone on the flight got a birdie. Fortunately, there were three birdies but none were mine!
The course was in very good condition, albeit slightly soggy as it had been raining for the previous few days and the greens were surprisingly zippy.
I nearly birdied the last as my putt lipped out and it was nice way to cap off a perfect day of golf.
