Overview: Pau Golf Club 1856 is the oldest golf club in Continental Europe, offering a historic and refined parkland experience in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Founded in 1856 and redesigned several times, most notably by Willie Park Jr., the course is a model of classical strategic architecture. The routing winds through a magnificent parkland estate with mature trees and rolling terrain, featuring narrow fairways and well-protected greens. It offers a peaceful and highly scenic golfing experience within a historic setting that has been a center of Pau social life for over a century. The course is characterized by its technical routing and its integration with the local topography, requiring precise shot-making and careful positioning.
Did You Know? The club was founded primarily by British expatriates who lived in the nearby resort towns. The course has remained remarkably unchanged over the decades, preserving the early architectural style of the Scottish links within a French coastal setting.
