Golf du Médoc, Golf resort in Le Pian-Médoc, France
Golf du Médoc is a golf club opened in 1989 in Le Pian-Médoc, north of Bordeaux. It has two 18-hole courses: the Châteaux course, a par-71 links layout of 6,576 m designed by Bill Coore, and the Vignes course, a par-71 parkland layout of 6,220 m designed by Rod Whitman. A 79-room hotel with a spa adjoins the clubhouse.
The resort was founded in 1989 and quickly became a major golf destination in the Bordeaux wine region. Its creation reflected the growth of golf development in southwestern France during that era.
The resort connects golf and wine through partnerships with nearby estates, where visitors can taste wines at the restaurant. The holes carry names that reference the wine traditions of the Médoc region.
The location is well equipped for multi-day stays, with an on-site hotel and various facilities for practicing or relaxing. Visitors should know that golf experience is helpful, as both courses are designed for different skill levels.
The Châteaux course, laid out by Bill Coore in 1989, follows the Scottish links tradition, while Rod Whitman's 1991 Vignes course is a more sheltered parkland with pine woods where club members usually play. The Châteaux was named best golf course in France at the World Golf Awards in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
