Paroles de golfeurs

"Chantaco needs to be played as much with your head as with your feet"

Jean Garaialde
The french professional golfer with the hightest number of wins
"The short technical course of Chantaco suits women's golf perfectly. It's a course that needs to be treated with respect and calls for a firm strategy."

Céline Herbin
Winner of the Lacoste Ladies French Open in 2015
"A visitor declared:"it smells of golf here!!!Golfing traditions, famous sporting events all mixed up with old fashionned charm."

Golf Magazine
Extract article "The heart of the basques" 2017
"Born in the farm closed to the hole number 1, almost sixty years ago, I have started as a caddie at ten. By this time, M. René Lacoste showed interest to me and Bernard Pascassio. We received as a present a set of clubs to share with us. From that moment, we never stopped playing golf!"

Dominique Larretche
famous french pro and Golf TV consultant
"ALL! that's what I owe to Chantaco and M. René Lacoste"

BERNARD PASCASSIO
Pro and consultant
"Chantaco is like a big family. A place where we enjoy to meet each other every year, but also a golf course which brings together fans of golf however different they are. Here the former caddies have a special membership. All this contributes to a strong family spirit."

Catherine Lacoste
daugther of René Lacoste, the youngest and only amateur player who won the US Open
"Here you can tee off with a lawyer or a house painter, and you will meet up on the green with a fisherman just back from selling his fishes on the quayside"

André-Jean Lafaurie
Renowned journalist from l'Equipe
"i like this course because it is varied, with sometimes hits on the slope, it amuses me like in Evian"

Joanna Klaten
LPGA Player
