Les Bordes Golf Club (New course)

Private: A course for members and their invited guests only.

Est. 2020

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.

Did you know?

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.

Published ranking

Europe's 8th best course (Golf World, 2023).
World's 83rd best course (GOLF magazine, 2023/24).
