Golf Du Medoc
Classed among the top 15 golf courses in continental Europe, the third best golf course in France (from the Rolex Guide), the Golf du Medoc offers two superbly designed 18 hole courses.
The more challenging of the two is Les Chateaux, which is likened to a links course. It’s very long with large greens and lots of hazards all around. Les Vignes is set among the beautiful pine trees so accuracy is required to score well.
The course Les Vignes has a really nice variety of holes, some through parkland forest, some through big pines trees and some with links style. The greens are smaller than Les Chateaux and the course is a little shorter.
Medoc Golf Hotel is located just 35 minute’s drive from Bordeaux airport, which is accessible from several UK airports. Set in the heart of the Medoc Wine Country there are many vineyards you can visit from this excellent golfer’s base. Also within half an hour you can be in the centre of one of France’s finest cities, Bordeaux and the coastline is about 45-55 minutes only!
