Red, rosé, white… and green !Switching from the green of the vines to the greens of the golf course is easy in a region which has so many of both. In the heart of a wine area, sometimes with views of the vineyards, there are a range of golf courses where you can practice your (other) passion.
Bordeaux;)
Golf BordelaisLocation Set in the Bordeaux-Caudéran area, the course is just a 15-minute car ride from Bordeaux city centre. The oldest course in the region, created in 1900, now offers 18 holes, a par 67 and a total length of 4774 metres. Atmosphere: You are in the middle of town but the range of tree plantations on the Bordeaux golf course make you feel like you’re somewhere else completely: coastal pines, American oaks, Austrian black pines, and other Spanish broom line the technical and narrow course that has numerous bunkers.
