Biarritz is both a golf course, and a city in France.
"In 1888, Willie Dunn Jr. designed the Biarritz Golf Club and the par-3 3rd hole which was dubbed “the chasm”. The chasm was adopted by C.B. Macdonald as a template hole and named “the biarritz.” Fellow architects were slow to grow fond of the bold and controversial putting surface that Macdonald was employing and called it “Macdonald’s Folly” in the early years.
Biarritz holes are long par-3s, typically 210-240 yards, designed to test a player’s ability to hit accurate long shots. Its defining characteristic is the massive green that stretches up to 80 yards. The large green is bisected by a deep swale in the middle — usually 3-5 feet deep — and is protected by narrow bunkers on both sides of the green."

Coincidentally, Cadillacs are required to be able to carry a golf bag in their trunk when new models are designed
In the mid 50s Cadillac unveiled the Biarritz name for their line of Eldorado Convertibles.
815 were produced.
The hardtop models of the Cadillac Eldorado were named the Seville
The 1958 Eldorado Biarritz Convertible had Cadillac’s 365 cubic inch engine, producing 335 horsepower and topped with three two-barrel carburetors.
The interior had the finest materials, and the lengthy list of options included every comfort and convenience feature Cadillac could conceive, ensuring that driver and passengers enjoyed a top of the line motoring experience.
The Eldorado Biarritz’s combination of power and presence has arguably never been repeated in such spectacular fashion.
The Biarritz sold so phenomenally that in 1961, Caddy discontinued the Seville. From 1961 to 1964, each Eldorado was a convertible and carried the Biarritz name, even though there was no other Eldorado but the Biarritz.
