Pau Golf Club Billere
The history of Pau Golf Club is bound to that of the city. During the 19th century, the mild climate made Pau the preferred holiday destination for the British. They marked the city with elegant villas, beautiful parks and, most important to golf fanatics, an 18 hole course (created in 1856). It is thus the oldest golf course in continental Europe.
