The Ilbarritz golf course, in Bidart (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), suffered significant damage during the nights from Sunday to Monday and then from Monday to Tuesday.
At least six wild boars have entered the greens and turned over the lawn in search of worms to feed the boars, reports
Sud-Ouest
.
The training area was closed on Tuesday and four people were mobilized to rehabilitate the courses.
According to the manager of the golf course, questioned by our colleagues, this intrusion on the part of the suidae is very early.
Generally, wild boars enter the site in winter.
"We are in the summer, where the wild boars should be in the fields," says Sébastien Daguerre, who has already experienced incidents of this type in the past.

Complicated hunts in summer
And precisely, beatings had been organized to eliminate certain animals.
A solution that the mayor of Bidart does not want to repeat this fall: “It's difficult to do at this time of year.
We cannot organize one at 11 am, with all the people present on the coast, ”says Emmanuel Alzuri.
While waiting for the hunters' response for possible shots posted at night, the Ilbarritz golf course will set up electrified fences.
Even if this solution can prove to be dangerous due to the proximity of the structure to the coast, believes Sébastien Daguerre.
