Characteristics
Founded in 1928, Golf de Chantaco is a mythical venue steeped in pure Basque tradition. Located just outside Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the course was designed by the renowned Harry Colt and remains a testament to the vision of the Lacoste family. The 18-hole parkland layout rewards precision over power, winding through a forest of 40,000 trees planted by René Lacoste. Strategic water hazards, particularly on the signature 12th hole, demand careful club selection. Off the course, the Art Deco clubhouse offers a sophisticated atmosphere, while the restaurant terrace provides breathtaking views of the Rhune mountain, making it a perfect blend of sporting history and natural beauty.

Friendly course.
Reviewed June 24, 2013
This was a fantastic course and a very friendly staff who took care of us in a very nice manor. The course is really nice and in a good a condition. Nice wiews over the Pyreene mountians. Like to come back and make a better score next time.

Pure history!
Reviewed March 22, 2026
A charming, traditional course with a wonderful atmosphere and magnificent old trees. The layout is varied, fair, and great fun to play. The grounds are very well maintained, making for a thoroughly enjoyable golfing experience. The greens had been aerated about 10 days before our round and were already in excellent condition. At a green fee of €61 per person, it was a fantastic golfing experience at this club, founded in 1928, which has always had a president from the Lacoste family. English is spoken without any problems, and ideally, you play in the morning and can also visit the pedestrian zone in St. Jean-de-Luz. Oh yes, we had our Labrador with us and received a very warm welcome. The distances between the holes are manageable and not particularly long (we walked without a cart) – with the exception of holes 17 and 18, where you have to cross the road.

Old friendly place with very wide fairways and beautiful old trees
Reviewed June 1, 2023
Very friendly reception. We were allowed to play in front of a large group beforehand. The Caddymaster mounted our bags straight from the car onto the electric trolleys to save time. Extremely helpful!
The course: pleasant to play, hilly first 9 holes with blind holes, then flat.
Was great fun.
