The Somabay World Cup is an international amateur golf competition series. This event is a regional qualification round held at Golf de Biscarrosse (La Forêt-Océan course) as part of the 2026 Somabay World Cup qualification phase. The competition is played as individual net stableford over 18 holes with staggered tee times at 9:00 AM. Players are divided into three mixed series based on their handicap index: Series 1 for index below 15, Series 2 for index 15 to 23.9, and Series 3 for index 24 to 36 (indices above 36 are capped at 36). To participate in the ranking, players must purchase a Pass Ranking from the Somabay World Cup website (somabay-world-cup.com) before the qualification deadline. The ranking is established by region and is based on each player's four best net scores from at least two different golf courses during the qualification period in their region. The top 30 players in each series at their regional ranking qualify for the regional finals in September 2026. From there, the best performers advance to the national final in March 2027, with the top two players from Series 1 and Series 2 representing France at the Somabay World Cup International Final in Egypt, and the top player from Series 3 qualifying for the Invitational tournament. The entry fee is 5€ for game rights (droits de jeu). Green fees for non-members are available at the standard rate (see with the golf). Players must hold a valid FF Golf license and medical certificate. The competition also counts for handicap index purposes even for those not competing for the ranking. Entry opens 02/04 and closes 18/07.

Venue

Golf de Biscarrosse

Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

Golf de Biscarrosse spans 50 hectares of pines and oaks in the Landes department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, located south of the Arcachon Basin and 75 kilometers from Bordeaux. The course is set within the preserved Landes forest, offering a verdant setting between forest, lake, and the Atlantic Ocean. The facility comprises two courses: the 18-hole "Forêt-Océan" (Par 71, 5,674 meters), a challenging layout on rolling dune terrain designed by Pierre Veyssières, and the 9-hole "Lac" course (Par 32, 2,172 meters), a shorter but technical layout. The course was developed in phases—the first nine holes opened in 1989 (designed by Olivier Brizon), nine additional holes in 1991, and the full 27 holes in 2005. The course features comprehensive practice facilities including a 25-station practice range with 7 covered bays, putting green, and pitching green. Additional amenities include a clubhouse with pro shop, restaurant specializing in local cuisine, equipment rental, and golf instruction programs for all levels, including junior golf academy sessions for children aged 6-15 and baby golf from age 3.
