Featured Golf Course:
MEDOC GC - Par 72 - 6,825/6,925 yards
The Medoc GC offers two excellent 18 hole layouts, “Les
Chateaux” and the “Les Vignes”. The Chateaux course is
perhaps the more difficult of the two and was designed in a
links style layout, complete with thick rough, ample bunkers
and situated on relatively flat terrain. The Vignes course
is a bit more friendly and asthetically appealing with many
holes situated in a pine forest, giving the course a nice
balance. Both courses offer excellent greens without too
much undulation, making scoring a bit easier. At either
course, every golfer will enjoy a very playable and
challenging round of golf in the lovely region of Bordeaux.
