Now operating as Cabot Bordeaux, Golf du Médoc Resort is one of France’s strongest stay-and-play golf destinations, set in the heart of the Médoc wine region just north west of Bordeaux. The resort combines two 18-hole golf courses, hotel accommodation, dining, spa facilities and a peaceful vineyard-country setting, making it ideal for golfers who want quality golf with easy access to Bordeaux’s food, wine and culture.

The resort is home to two contrasting courses: Châteaux and Vignes. The Châteaux Course is the headline layout, designed by Bill Coore and completed with Rod Whitman in 1989. Formerly a French Open host, it has a heathland feel, with sandy soil, heather-lined bunkers, fast-running fairways and strategic risk-and-reward choices that will appeal to golfers who enjoy classic course architecture.

The Vignes Course, designed by Rod Whitman, offers a different challenge. It features shorter holes, tighter fairways and more demanding greens than Châteaux, with heather, gorse, juniper and maritime pines giving the course a distinctive French-meets-Scottish character. Together, the two courses make the resort especially useful for short golf breaks, repeat rounds and groups wanting variety without needing long transfers between venues.

The hotel has 79 guest rooms, many with golf course views, along with restaurants, a bar, spa, heated indoor pool, hammam, fitness facilities and wellness treatments. The resort also sits well for off-course exploring, with Bordeaux, the Médoc wine route, châteaux, vineyards, Lacanau and the wider Gironde region all within reach.

For UK golfers, Golf du Médoc Resort is a strong choice for a French golf holiday that feels premium but still easy to access. It works well for couples, groups and wine lovers, combining championship golf, relaxed resort facilities and one of Europe’s great food and wine regions.
