"Biarritz" Golf Course Print by Thad Layton

Regular price $95.00

Unit price per 

Originally known as the “Chasm” hole, the 220-yard par 3 Willie Dunn design in Biarritz, France played over a gaping inlet of the Bay of Biscay. Because of its difficulty, this hole was scrapped after just a few seasons. Fortuitously, CB Macdonald saw it before its demise and was so smitten with the design that he incorporated versions of it on almost every course they built, dubbing it “Biarritz”. Aside from Redan, it might be the most pliable template of all. There are scores of Biarritz variations…The twisted Biarritz at Wexford Plantation’s par 4 16th, an on-grade Biarritz at Las Piedras par 3 #2, and The Creek Club’s Island Biarritz at the par 3 eleventh.

The brilliance of the design is how its 3 different levels consistently triage the quality of each shot. Front pins typically require an approach landing short of the green to adhere to the first level of the green. Middle pins are the easiest as the deep swale that bisects the green offers a degree of latitude due to the gathering nature of the trough feature. The hardest pin location? That would be on the back level where a trundling shot is necessary to speed through the trough. Don’t go long though as the elevation of the back of the green will face a daunting up and down!

Personalization

Head Covers & Towels

The majority of our head covers and towels allow the option to add a customized leather label sewn onto it. We use a vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Oregon Leather Company and can inscribe virtually any single color text or logo (that you own the rights to) onto the leather. Most golfers get their initials, name, or favorite word/saying. The artwork is burned into the leather in a process that is similar to the branding process.
