About Bordeaux Golf Holidays
Bordeaux is ideal for golfers who like their trips relaxed, scenic and full of good food and wine.
The region has a gentler pace than many larger European golf destinations, with golf fitting naturally around vineyard visits, countryside drives and long, easy-going meals.
Golf Escapes’ featured options give the region a nice balance:
Cabot Bordeaux MGallery Collection is the more golf-focused choice, set in the Médoc wine region with two 18-hole courses on site: Cabot Bordeaux Châteaux Course and Cabot Bordeaux Vignes Course.
Château des Vigiers offers a quieter countryside escape near Bergerac, with château-style accommodation, on-site golf and a slower Dordogne feel.
For golfers who want to add another memorable round, Grand Saint-Émilionnais Golf Club brings a superb away-day option in the Saint-Émilion wine region.
Golf in Bordeaux
Golf in Bordeaux is scenic and nicely spread out, with courses set among vineyards, woodland and open countryside rather than busy resort strips.
Cabot Bordeaux offers the strongest golf set-up, with two 18-hole courses on site: Cabot Bordeaux Châteaux Course and Cabot Bordeaux Vignes Course.
Château des Vigiers brings a gentler stay-and-play option, with 27 holes on its peaceful estate near Bergerac.
Grand Saint-Émilionnais Golf Club is best treated as an away-day course, adding another excellent wine-country round to a Bordeaux golf holiday.
Where to Stay
Cabot Bordeaux MGallery Collection is a stylish, wine-country base for golfers who want plenty of golf on site, a relaxed Médoc setting and good access from Bordeaux Airport.
Château des Vigiers is the softer countryside option, with château charm, spa time, good food and a peaceful Dordogne setting. It works especially well for couples, smaller groups and golfers travelling with non-golfing partners.
Getting There
Bordeaux Airport is the main gateway for the region and works especially well for Cabot Bordeaux. Bergerac Airport can also be useful for Château des Vigiers when seasonal flights are available.
Transfers or car hire are usually the easiest way to travel, especially for guests who want to explore the vineyards, nearby towns and countryside restaurants, or add a round at Grand Saint-Émilionnais Golf Club.
Best Time to Visit
The best time for Bordeaux golf holidays is generally spring to autumn, when the weather is mild to warm and the countryside is at its best.
May, June, September and October are especially appealing for golf, with comfortable playing conditions and a slightly calmer feel than the peak summer months.
July and August can work well too, particularly for a longer French summer holiday, although golfers should expect warmer temperatures and a busier feel in the wider region.
Spring and early autumn are ideal if the priority is golf, food, wine and relaxed exploring without the strongest summer heat.
