La Jalle is arguably the easier of the two courses with the fairways being relatively flat and wide the course is perfect for beginners and high handicappers. However, the course does feature a lot of thick rough meaning that an errant shot will not go unpunished and will still provide a challenge for low handicap golfers. The tee shot is definitely the easiest shot on the course as the sloping greens place an emphasis on accurate approach play and when on the putting surface, reading them is not as easy as it may look due to their quick nature.
Les Etangs
Par 72, designed by Jean Bourret and opened for play in 1990.
TEES:
White: 6,738 yards
Yellow: 6,473 yards
Blue: 6,127 yards
Red: 5,692 yards
The French Junior Open Course is the newer of the two and is designed by the same person who did the La Jalle course. The course has slightly undulating fairways which place plenty of emphasis on an accurate tee shot or the ball can trickle into the rough. The course features plenty of water hazards and when you combine this with the sloping fairways it is better suited for the low handicap golfer as all the clubs in the bag are required. Furthermore, a player's ability to execute distance control with their approach shots is imperative in order to score low on the a round at the Les Etangs course as the fast greens are well guarded by both bunkers and water.
Furthermore, Blue Green Bordeaux Lac Golf Club not only boasts 2 fantastic golf course but also a number of different practice facilities that guests are invited to use at their leisure. Players can hone their long game skills on the fantastic driving range or dial in their chipping and putting in the short game areas. The club also has a 6 hole pitch and putt course which is perfect for beginners to practice and start on or low handicappers to practice their approach play.
A very wet day but the staff helped us out and it was an enjoyable round. Great facilities
