In association with the celebrated courses at Seignosse and Hossegor, Golf de Moliets is a standout stop on a south-west France golf break near Biarritz. Set among maritime pines and rolling dunes a few minutes from the Atlantic, it delivers a proper seaside challenge without being a pure links. Part of the Resonance Golf Collection, it joins nearby Golf de Seignosse, which is located about 30 minutes away.
The course sits on free-draining sandy ground so it tends to play firm and fast, rewarding runners, bump-and-runs and the sort of creative shot-making you'll be glad you packed. Add in the coastal breeze and you've got a layout that asks for smart club selection and a tidy short game rather than brute force alone. World-renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Senior made the most of the natural landscape when he designed Moliets, opening up strategic angles through corridors of umbrella pine.
Water features on a handful of holes, especially around the turn, where accurate approach play matters. Elsewhere, it's the combination of well-placed bunkers and subtly defended greens that does the damage. From the back tees it measures just over 6,000 metres, with plenty of options forward, making it a great fit for mixed-ability groups.
Moliets is available on the Biarritz Golf Pass, which makes it an easy win if you're building a multi-course trip in the Landes with Hossegor and Seignosse close by.

The pine forest that was planted to stem increasing erosion of the coastline sets the scene for this Trent Jones masterpiece. The seaside location ensures that the greens are firm and fast, while the gorse and whins serve as a constant reminder that the water is not far away.
A great year-round golfing venue, Moliets is frequently utilised by the French Golf Federation, and has also featured on the European Challenge Tour. Herein lies the charm of Moliets; while it retains the relaxed atmosphere of a suitable golf holiday course, it is essentially a championship venue. Undoubtedly among the finest in the south west, be sure to include Moliets in your next escape to Biarritz.
