Golf courses
In comparison to Scotland or the South of Spain, the Ariege is not the best place in Europe
to play golf. However, there are a few courses where you can indulge yourself while enjoying
everything else that the mountains have to offer.
Local coursesGolf club de l'Ariége - La Bastide de Sérou (40 Mins)This is a specialist club offering a choice of 6 holes (par 20 pitch and putt),
or 18 holes (5970m, par 71). It has by far the best views from its position 500m high in the foothills, but the
course itself is not the most challenging. Domaine d'Auraic - Carcassonne (45 mins from us)This four star hotel has an 18 hole (5758m) golf course
just five minutes from the old city of Carcassonne, and is the most popular in the area.
La Barouge - Mazamet (1 hour)Open since 1956, and in the foot of the black mountains, this is a mature par 70 (5635m) course in a lovely location.
See golf-mazamet for details.
Golf de Font Romeu (2 hours)A 9 hole, 2235m course, open only during the peak Summer months.
Toulouse (90 minutes)There are also two golf courses in Toulouse itself, although we have no direct experience of these. |
