Domaine Haut-Gardegan’s course will boast diverse topography, beguiling water features, beautiful native trees, and a spectacular vineyard backdrop. “Our wish was to design a golf course that golfers of all levels would appreciate, both from a playing and an aesthetic point of view.

The golf course at Domaine Haut-Gardegan will offer lots of variety in terms of topography and vegetation. It has tremendous potential to be a world class place to play golf.”(Tom Lehman, US Captain of the Ryder cup, 2006). A place like no other!
