Bordeaux Golf Courses
Saint Emillion Golf
We have heard of the wonderful wine from Saint Emillion however the golf course has been hidden from us. This is a 5+ golf course, still fairly young but mature in it's feel.
It is set within beautiful old oak trees with vines in view as you play your golf, a wonderful setting indeed.
The course has a wonderful marriage between French style and British design.
Certainly one to enjoy before a bottle of the local red.
Golf du Medoc Vignes Golf
The landscape of the course embodies the area of Medoc and the course has been tastefully designed to keep that feel.
The course is demanding with long par 4s and tricky greens.
The course is varied which adds to the enjoyment and test of golf you will face.
The Vignes compliments the Chateaux course very well and provides a completely different test.
Golf du Medoc Chateaux Golf
A quote from someone who has played The Châteaux course ' People who like Sunningdale and Swinley Forest will be seduced by the Chateaux Course. Now that is a great accolade. The course has been voted the best in France 4 times and has a feel of a Scottish links The superb greens, the distinct affect of the Ocean winds and the tricky set up will provide a test of golf to remember.
