MEDOC GC - Par 72 - 6,825/6,925
yards
The Medoc GC offers two excellent 18
hole layouts, “Les Chateaux” and the
“Les Vignes”. The Chateaux course is
perhaps the more difficult of the
two and was designed in a links
style layout, complete with thick
rough, ample bunkers and situated on
relatively flat terrain. The Vignes
course is a bit more friendly and
asthetically appealing with many
holes situated in a pine forest,
giving the course a nice balance.
Both courses offer excellent greens
without too much undulation, making
scoring a bit easier. At either
course, every golfer will enjoy a
very playable and challenging round
of golf in the lovely region of
Bordeaux. |
