Golf Club De Luchon
Luchon golf course is one of the first golf courses created in France after Pau (in 1856), Biarritz (in 1888), Cannes Mandelieu (in 1891), Saint-de-Luz (in 1893) and Vichy (in 1908). It was at this time (1908) that Pierre Artigala created Luchon golf course from scratch, with Ludovic Dardenne, the Marquis de Méranvielle de Saint-Claire, Henry De Gorsse, Baron Charles Fabre de Roussac. The 9 holes were very popular with an English clientele who, at the time, were enjoying the heyday of the Pyrenees and, particularly, Pau, Biarritz and Luchon where they came to take the cure and meet the beautiful people of the time, but also and above all to botanize. Now, Luchon, by its unique geographical location in the center of nine valleys, oriented differently, is home to an incomparable variety of flowers. The Val d'Esquerry, the botanical garden of the Pyrenees, is the most convincing image of this. In 1929, a new committee composed of Mr. Siégel, Maître Rémy Comet, Mr. Rivals, Doctor Gazal Gamelsy improved the course and the greens; the improvement was significant and the golf course was already very popular. On December 9, 1930, Maître Comet established the statutes of a Public Limited Company with a capital of 278,000 F called the Société du Golf et du Tennis de Luchon. The public was informed of this by the local newspaper of the time, L'avenir de Luchon, in its Sunday newspaper of January 11, 1931.
