Characteristics
Steeped in history, Golf de la Nivelle was established in 1907 and designed by the legendary J.H. Taylor. Located in the picturesque Basque Country, the course is built around a central hill above Ciboure, creating a natural amphitheater. This unique topography offers players constantly changing views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Nivelle River, and the iconic Rhune mountain. The par-70 layout is classically British in character but demands technical precision due to its undulating fairways and sloping greens, where stance strategy is paramount. The club retains a warm, authentic atmosphere, best experienced in the restaurant, where the terrace overlooks the landscape and serves bistronomic cuisine highlighting fresh local ingredients.

Nice wiew.
Reviewed June 30, 2013
This is the second french course that we tried during our holiday in northern spain. It is a very thigt course were you sometimes are in play with other holes. Hole nr 4 is a par 5 were the driveing ranch is crossing the fairway, you have to ring a bell for stop playing from the ranch, little bit odd. Very nice clubhouse and restarant.

We can only confirm the previous comment. Combined with Saint Jean de Luz, it's a fantastic trip. The green fee for a couple, €135, is absolutely reasonable. We'll be back...

Very beautiful and varied golf course
Reviewed May 9, 2025
We (HCP 15 and 18) played the course at the beginning of May 2025. Reservations only by phone, green fee for a couple €135, very fair considering the local conditions.
Very well-maintained fairways and greens, varied layout, I would say they made the most of the available space.
Playing white is no problem, my wife played blue.
We had a lovely day of golf, highly recommended!
