Restaurant du Club House la Nivelle sur Ciboure

A wonderful discovery just a stone's throw from Saint-Jean-de-Luz! The welcome is warm and friendly, both at the clubhouse and the restaurant. The course offers lovely views of the Pyrenees mountain range, making the round particularly enjoyable. The parking lot can fill up quickly when busy. The fairly wide fairways are forgiving of off-center shots. The only downside: the noise from the A63 motorway, which is quite noticeable and unfortunately detracts somewhat from the enjoyment of the game. Nevertheless, this golf course is well worth a visit for its setting and the quality of its service!

The course is quite dry, affected by the irrigation restrictions in the area throughout the summer and the lack of rain. It's a short, technical course, perfectly playable from the back tees. I've played here before, and the fairways and greens were in much better condition. It's a shame that clubs charge the same green fee regardless of the course's condition. There's a nice café for a drink after your round.

Thank you to the groundskeepers for maintaining the course; their warm welcome and helpfulness in answering all our questions were much appreciated. Thank you again. Thank you to the restaurant staff and chefs who rose to the challenge.
