At 7,062 yards, par 72 with a slope of 148 you will find Les Bordes as tough and challenging as its reputation suggests. Comprehensive practice facilities enable you to tune up for the challenge ahead. You can work on your game on the championship-quality driving range and the largest putting green in Europe (36 holes). There is also expert coaching - in English and French - by a team of resident professionals who know the course and love the game. WWG Grade: A
