The golf and country club at Chateau Des Vigiers is laid out across the estate’s delightful landscape, carved through plum orchards and great stands of oaks, as well as the local lakes and vineyards.
The original eighteen holes at Chateau Des Vigiers were formulated 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.
Chateau Des Vigiers is a special golf holiday destination, tucked away in the dramatic rural landscape of south west France’s Aquitaine region. Guests can choose from a number of different accommodation options, all of which ooze the traditional and quintessential charm of the estate’s surroundings.
The historic chateau, which dominates the landscape, was fully restored in 1991, and now fulfils its magical potential. Its 25 rooms are traditional and luxurious, with many period features merely adding to the charm and class. Added in 1992, the Dependances boosted the Vigiers total by 22 rooms, while the Relais des Vigiers, scheduled for opening in Spring 2008, will feature a further 40 deluxe rooms and suites.
All the accommodation is superbly appointed, and features the perfect balance of traditional charm and modern convenience. It is of little surprise that Chateau Des Vigiers remains among the most desirable and exclusive destinations in France, so why not make it the choice for your next escape to the Aquitaine region.
Chateau Des Vigiers still produces outstanding dry white, red, rose and sweet wines, while the region’s names like St Emilion, Sauternes and Medoc should certainly not be missed.
The gourmet Les Fresques is the highlight of the gastronomic experience at Vigiers, where foie gras and duck are among the Dordogne specialities.
