The Old Course:
Les Bordes Golf Club is synonymous with golfing excellence, and its crown jewel, the Old Course, stands as the masterpiece of the renowned golf course architect Robert Von Hagge. For over three decades, the Old Course at Les Bordes has consistently ranked among the top three courses in Europe. This exclusive club’s history traces back to its opening in 1986, set on the sprawling private hunting estate once owned by Baron Marcel Bich.
Les Bordes proudly claims the distinction of being the second largest privately owned estate in France, surpassed only by Disneyland. The development of this golfing sanctuary was an extravagant endeavor, epitomized by Baron Bich’s famous quote to architect Robert Von Hagge, ‘Robert, you had an unlimited budget, and somehow you managed to go over it.’
The Old Course’s contemporary design is a masterpiece of its era, celebrated for its remarkable challenge from tee to green. For many years, Les Bordes Golf Club was renowned as one of the most demanding courses in the world, testing the skills and fortitude of golfers who sought to conquer it.
