A short distance from the huge dunes at Pyla, this tough course has been carved out of the Landes pine forest. There are also plenty of water hazards and with the towering pines, island greens, and dazzling white sand of the bunkers, it's no wonder this has been likened to course typical to Florida, but in south west France.

Accommodation
Relais de Margaux Luxe 4*
The sensational Relais de Margaux is situated in the heart of the Médoc - probably the most famous wine producing region in the world. Originally the château of one of the premier wine-producing families of France, Relais de Margaux blends its prestigious past with all the modern facilities of a top class hotel.
Surrounded by a huge park which is bordered by the Gironde, the hotel provides a great base to play the surrounding golf and visit some of the most famous wine houses in the Medoc.
The hotel's facilities include a swimming pool, jogging track, volleyball, tennis and a new Spa Centre. The hotel features 37 new rooms, a new brasserie and the superb restaurant provides excellent cuisine and as you'd imagine, a fairly decent wine list.
Hôtel du Golf de Lacanau 3*
Situated just 40 minutes from Bordeaux, the Hôtel du Golf de Lacanau is situated in the thick pine forests of Domaine de l'Ardilouse between lakes and the ocean.
The 50 room resort offers a number of sporting activities as well as the cuisine that one would expect from the kitchens of a Médoc château. Most of the balconies of the rooms overlook either the golf course or the forest, and terraced gardens surround the property.
