South-west France
The splendour of Bordeaux to the glitz of Biarritz. And with five courses in Europe’s Top 100, you’re spoilt!
Bordeaux
France has everything one could wish for and Bordeaux is the case in point.
Established by the Romans who found the natural river ports, wine, and the perfect agricultural conditions to their liking, the area has prospered for over 2000 years. It retains all of its pomp and seamlessly shows off its renowned vineyards and countless chateaux. More recent additions include several good courses. It is now a serious golf destination.
Biarritz
Biarritz is a true golfing paradise. Add fine weather, great food and extensive nightlife to the equation and the result is a fantastic golf holiday.
Access is quick with plenty of flights in and around the resorts. Some clients drive down from the Channel ports and take an overnight stop to break the nine-hour drive with others preferring the overnight ferries to Bilbao or Santander. Once there, the resorts, courses and restaurants are all local so you’ll be doing more driving on the course than on the roads.
The scenery is impressive with massive beaches, thick forests, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees. Après-golf is lively with the locals loving a good party. And not only is it fun, it’s classy: remarkable hotels and villas, casinos, smart shops, pleasure ports and well-preserved fishing villages.
