Leave the A10 at exit 15 (Meung s/Loire). Follow signs to Beaugency. After 10 km, in Beaugency, follow signs to Chateauroux / Limoges and cross the bridge over the River Loire at L'Abbaye Hotel. Immediately after bridge, turn right onto the D925 direction Chateauroux / Limoges. After 5 km Les Bordes is signposted on your left (and is a further 2 km along a private road).
Les Bordes Golf Club (New course): the second 18-hole course at Les Bordes, designed by American architect Gil Hanse, is laid out on the site of the former Ganay GC. The 7,391 yard (6,759 meters), Gil Hanse-designed New Course is inspired by the classical Surrey/Berkshire heathland courses.
As with the famed heathland courses found to the southwest of London, the layout here sits on sandy soil. It too plays hard and fast through heather, broom and century-old pine, chestnut, birch and oak trees. Wide playing corridors contrast with Les Borde's von Hagge-designed Old Course ... a much tougher and tighter proposition, carved through the Sologne forest. The Old Course is perennially rated amongst Europe’s elite.
Limited access: this is a private course generally playable only by members and their invited guests.
Private club - guests may only play if hosted by a member.

Future developments at Les Bordes envisage a Six Senses Hotel & Spa. It is anticipated that resort guests will have limited access to the 10-hole Wild Piglet course, but not necessarily to the two 18-hole Old and New courses.
In addition to the deer's head motif, the original Les Bordes logo bore the cross of St Hubert, the hunters' saint. At the 6th hole on the Old Course, an elegant stone cross marks the spot where the son of a former estate owner died in a riding accident.
Europe's 8th best course (Golf World, 2023).
World's 83rd best course (GOLF magazine, 2023/24).
There are plans for a Six Senses luxury hotel to open at Les Bordes.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
