Our selected golf courses: Bordeaux - Medoc - Lacanau

Golf du Medoc - Chateaux  

Golf du Médoc - Les ChAteaux
Architect: B. Goore.
18 holes: 6,316m: par 71.
A surprising layout in many ways as it is almost pure home counties heathland. The terrain was once overrun with enormous gorse bushes which have now been uprooted to allow the heather to re-juvenate.
Host to the French Open in 2001 and will see the Seniors Open next year.

Golf du MEdoc - Les Vignes
Architect: R. Withmann.
18 holes: 6,220: par71.
A very similar design to Les Chateaux, although slightly tighter and with more water in play. The series of holes just over the road are particularly fine through a combination of gorse and tall pines.

Gujan Golf Club  

Gujan
Architect: A. Prat.
18 + 9 holes: 6,225m: par 72.
Florida in France! Towering pines, island greens, dazzling white sands. Well worth the trip to play this thoroughly enjoyable collection of very varied holes which will demand every shot in the book at some stage during your round.
Clubhouse terrace overlooking the 18th lake is ideal for a relaxed lunch.


Bordeaux Pessac
Architect: O. Brizon.
18 (+ 9 holes): 6,040m: par 72.
Another very well designed layout over level terrain through closely knit pines interspersed with some thought-provoking water hazards. A very fair test of golf, where a solid short game will lead to a good score.
Close to Bordeaux airport - so perfect for a game on arrival or departure day.

 

Lacanau Ocean Golf Club  

Lacanau
Architect: A. Prat.
18 + 9 holes: 6,225m: par 72.
Eighteen beautiful holes that sit in near isolation from each other on the rising and falling sandy soil in the dense pines of the Foret de Lacanau beside the Atlantic Ocean.
A peaceful retreat, where there is also a small hotel, if you would like to stay and play twice? Or perhaps dip your toes in the ocean?


Margaux
Architect: O. Dongradi (2006)
18 holes: 6,048m: par71.
A recent addition to the Bordeaux golfing scene in the grounds of the Relais de Margaux hotel and spa. The established woodland of the Estate lends the course a maturity that belies its youth.
Possibly the toughest course in the region due to the diminutive Greens - so sure to test your up-and-down abilities.

 

Golf de Margaux


Bordeaux Lac - La Jalle  

Bordeaux Lac - La Jalle
Architect:
18 holes: 6,124m: par72.
The first of two very nice courses at the friendly little Club of Bordeaux Lac that would make a great venue to start your week or maybe have a thirty-six hole day as they are both easily walked over flat ground.

Bordeaux Lac - Les Etangs
Architect:
18 holes: 6,191m: par 72.
The more-demanding of the two courses as the name (Les Etangs = The Lakes) might suggest!

 

Bordeaux Lac - Les Etangs


Arcachon
Architect: C.R. Blandford.
18 holes: 4784m: par 72.
A short, pretty course ideal for holiday golf, flowers and shrubs abound. First two holes drop into a valley, last two scale the heights back to the friendly old clubhouse. Water in play on the back-nine.

Your comments

"We thought the four courses you booked for us were great thanks - particularly liked Gujan. The Hotel du Golf was dead easy to get to from the airport and was a perfect base for our stay. They looked after us very well indeed - especially the wine waiter!
