Les Châteaux
The Châteaux course, 6,316 meters long, with a par of 71, designed by Bill Corre (USA), corresponds to the pure tradition of Scottish links. Wide fairways bordered by heather, gorse and broom entice golfers into the delights of a carefully preserved nature. The fast greens, the influence of Atlantic winds and the technical difficulties of the layout make this championship course a constant challenge.
Les Vignes
The Vignes course, 6,220 meters long, with a par of 71, designed by Rod Whitman (Canada), is set in a typically regional landscape where the beauty of the moors and the maritime pines serve to enhance the architect’s design. The long par-5 holes with their carefully designed greens and the judiciously placed bunkers call for careful and precise strokes. The wide variety of holes and the sumptuous setting will more than meet the expectations of even the most demanding players.
