Everything about the top golf courses in Bordeaux
The top golf courses in and around Bordeaux reflect a ranking shaped by verified reviews from golfers and by the strength of the surrounding golf landscape. Golf du Médoc is the essential course for any golfer visiting Bordeaux. Located 20 kilometres north of the city in the Médoc peninsula, the resort's Les Châteaux course by Bill Coore and Robert von Hagge runs through a mixture of open Médoc agricultural terrain and Landes pine sections. The routing past vine rows of the Médoc's wine estates, with several tee positions looking directly toward château buildings, creates a visual context that is genuinely unique in European golf. The resort has hosted European Tour events and maintains both courses at a standard that reflects its position as Bordeaux's flagship golf property. Golf de Bordeaux-Lac provides the accessible city option, its lakeside course north of Bordeaux running along the banks of the Lac de Bordeaux with flat, well-kept fairways and a setting that uses the water and nearby pine sections to create more visual variety than the city-adjacent location might suggest. Golf de Cameyrac, east of Bordeaux in the Entre-Deux-Mers wine country between the Garonne and the Dordogne, sits in a rolling vineyard landscape that provides a completely different character from the flat pine forest courses to the west and north. For golfers also visiting the Saint-Émilion appellation, it is the most appealing option in the circuit. Golf d'Arcachon and courses near the Arcachon Bay to the southwest extend the circuit toward the Atlantic coast. The Arcachon Basin, the great tidal lagoon 60 kilometres from Bordeaux with the Dune du Pilat, Europe's highest sand dune, at its southern shore, is a significant natural attraction in its own right, and combining a coastal round with the Arcachon tourist circuit makes the drive worthwhile on both counts.
