AmaWaterway's Taste of Bordeaux River Cruise
Nestled in the heart of one of the most beautiful regions in France, Libourne is not only known for its vineyards and wine but also for its fantastic golf courses. Golf de Teynac is a course that brings together the charm of the French countryside with a design that's both challenging and picturesque. Imagine playing through rolling greens surrounded by stunning vineyards—a true feast for the eyes and the senses. Notably, the signature 8th hole here will put your precision to the test with its clever water hazards.
Next up is Golf du Médoc Resort, a short drive from Libourne and worth every minute. This place is every bit a golfer’s paradise, offering two championship courses that have consistently been ranked among Europe’s finest. The natural heathland setting makes for a gorgeous backdrop, and both courses have unique layouts that present a good mix of risk and reward. the exhilarating challenge of the par-5 18th on Les Châteaux course—definitely not for the faint of heart! The resort also boasts top-notch facilities, including a stylish hotel and a tranquil spa, making it a great spot if you're a blended group with golfers and non-golfers alike.
We have touched on several courses in Bordeaux and the surrounding region last week and today. Some things to consider when looking at the area for golfing include weather. Spring and fall are the best times to grab your clubs for golfing in the Bordeaux Region. Springtime feels like a gentle awakening. It's when the vineyards start to come alive, and the weather is just about perfect for golfing. From March to May, you can expect mild temperatures, usually hovering between 60°F to 75°F. This means you won’t be sweating buckets or shivering on the course, just pure golfing bliss. Fall, on the other hand, brings its own brand of magic. From September to November, Libourne offers a bounty of vibrant colors as the vineyards turn golden, coupled with cool, crisp air. With a similar range of temperatures to spring, fall provides those comfortable golfing conditions we all crave.
In addition to being a great time to golf, Spring and Fall are full of culture and life during these months.. Catch the Fête de la Saint-Jean in June, where you can enjoy traditional music and festivities, or the September Harvest festivals celebrating the wine-making season. These events are a fantastic way to immerse yourself in local culture while enjoying rounds of golf.
For practical tips, consider booking tee times in advance, especially during peak seasons, to ensure you get to play without any hiccups. And don't forget to pack layers—you never know when the weather might swing a surprise. The Bordeaux Region is a playground waiting to be discovered by golfers who appreciate not just the game, but also the experiences that surround it.
