Cabot Bordeaux – Les Châteaux

Nestled in the captivating region of Bordeaux in Southwest France is Cabot Bordeaux, where greens meet grapes, and remarkable memories are par for the course. It is the perfect, secluded setting that offers an ideal blend of luxurious vineyard sophistication with laidback countryside charm.

When Bill Coore designed the Châteaux course in 1987, he attempted to build a new course that looked as though Tom Simpson had built it in the 1920s. Simpson had designed outstanding courses in France, perhaps most notably Morfontaine, and Coore wanted to pay homage to his beautiful style of work. Sandy soil, heather-lined bunkers and fast-and-firm fairways make Châteaux a distinctly heathland course, akin to some of the UK’s most famous such as Sunningdale Golf Club and Swinley Forest.
