Golf du Médoc Resort
Situated among the vines and many famous chateaux, this golf
resort is an unmissable destination in South West France.
Its location near Bordeaux allows visitors to
combine golf, gastronomy and wine tasting, yet
it is only 20 minutes from Bordeaux airport. It’s
the perfect combination for golf lovers seeking
to discover the many fine wines and châteaux
of the Médoc. Whether one is an oenophile or
a serious golfer – or perhaps a bit of both – the
Médoc will undoubtedly offer a spectacular array of
pleasures and memories. The four-star hotel and
spa overlooks the golf courses (36 holes on site)
and offers exceptional views from the restaurants
and the rooms’ private patios. The restaurant, La
Table du Médoc, is the place to enjoy the most
prestigious Grand Crus Classés wines from Médoc
region. Drink it close to the cosy lounge library and
bar or on the terrace facing Les Châteaux course.
Les Châteaux, a par 71 of 7189 yards, is the only
course designed by Bill Coore in Europe. This
championship course is a pure delight, with each
hole named after one of Médoc’s top wines. Les
Châteaux was ranked by Golf World in Continental
Europe’s Top 15 courses in 2015. It’s inspired
by links with its fast-running fairways, but has a
heathland nature a la Walton Heath. The adjacent
Les Vignes course was designed by Rod Whitman
and this 6,281-yard track is pleasant and perhaps a
bit less demanding but offers strategic choices off
the tee.
