Resort Overview
Golf paradise in the heart of wine country? Would you mind if we ordered seconds? At Golf du Medoc, the answer is always no. Be it from any of the 79 rooms attached to the resort hotel to either of the property’s two championship golf courses … or anywhere beyond. With a host of alternate activities (wine-tasting chief among them) and a series of golf packages, Golf du Medoc does a little bit of everything well. For the golfer seeking their own chunk of adventure in the south of France, there may be no destination better — or more fulfilling. Just don’t forget to leave room for dinner at the on-property restaurant, where a traditional French meal prepared by head chef Benoit Gourgues may have a claim to the best “clubhouse menu” in golf.
Highlights
Not one but TWO impeccably maintained golf courses, both worth a visit in their own right. Your biggest challenge will be finding time to play both.
The signature “Chateaux” course is legendary architect Bill Coore’s third-ever solo design — providing a rare glimpse of his early influences and works.
Before dinner, swing by the club’s exclusive wine cellar and pluck from a selection of more than 130 rarities, including 36 selections from the club’s famed partner vineyard, Chateaux.
