Set in southwestern France’s premier wine region, Cabot Bordeaux features two standout courses: the heathland-inspired, Coore & Crenshaw championship test, Les Châteaux, and the scenic Les Vignes. Beyond establishing the area as a prime golf destination, the resort seamlessly blends sport with local heritage, complementing world-class play with regional dining and an extensive wine collection at the clubhouse.

This course is a modern design by the legendary American architect Tom Doak, marking his first golf course project in continental Europe. The course occupies a wooded estate, set within Saint-Émilion, whose historic vineyard landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Doak’s design makes use of the natural landscape, with broad fairways, strategic hazards and contoured greens that reward thoughtful play. The course showcases a few short par four holes, such as 2,7, and 8 being features of the course. Rather than relying on coastal scenery, the course embraces its minimalistic style and course character to create a challenging but rewarding round.
