Golf
The original eighteen holes at Chateau Des Vigiers were designed by the esteemed Donald Steel and were opened in 1991. While these were well received, the demand of golfing visitors to this amazing destination necessitated expansion, and a further nine holes have recently been completed.
Steel is regarded as one of the most subtle golf course designers, and one who always remains appreciative and aware of the effects on the local landscape. As such, Steel allowed the terrain to dictate the style of the course, and the results are spectacular. The condition of the courses is always impeccable, and there can surely be few more special places to enjoy holiday golf than this charming corner of Aquitaine.
Vigiers also has a 6-hole academy course that is perfect for beginners or youngsters, a full practice area with 24 open driving ranges, pitching greens, training bunkers chipping and putting green alongside a putting green.
