Bordeaux and the Southwest Golf Deals, 2026
Southwest France is golf and wine in one trip, with the Medoc courses on Bordeaux's doorstep and a string of Atlantic links and forest layouts down toward Biarritz. The deal that defines it is the Cabot Bordeaux stay and play, built around two ranked courses and a wine country base. Here is how the 2026 packages line up.

Golf, wine and the coast in one trip
Southwest France is two golf regions in one. Around Bordeaux sits the Medoc, where the Cabot Bordeaux resort, the former Golf du Medoc, anchors the wine country with its two 18 hole courses, the Chateaux, ranked among the best in France, and the Vignes. South and west, the Atlantic coast around Biarritz and the Landes holds celebrated layouts such as Seignosse and the Robert Trent Jones designed Moliets. The deal to watch ties them together: a stay and play base in the Medoc, with the coast and the wine estates within reach.
Below is how the main package shapes break down for 2026 and what they typically include. Treat every figure as a planning guide rather than a quote, since rates shift with season, lodging and the number of rounds, and always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
The Cabot Bordeaux stay and play
The headline deal is the Cabot Bordeaux stay and play, built around the resort's two 18 hole courses, the highly ranked Chateaux and the Vignes, with lodging at its MGallery hotel about 20km from the city of Bordeaux. An indicative four night package available from April to October 2026 has been offered at around GBP 825 per person with three rounds, pairing the Medoc courses with a round at Grand Saint Emilionnais. It is the cleanest way to base yourself in the wine country and play without moving hotels.
The wine country short break
For a shorter trip, a couple of nights in the Medoc with rounds on the Chateaux and Vignes and a wine tasting at a nearby estate is the classic southwest combination. The region is sold as much on its gastronomy and its cellars as on the golf, and a Medoc base puts world famous names such as Margaux within reach of the first tee. Confirm the package contents, since the wine and dining elements vary by operator.
The coast and wine combination
To see the breadth of the southwest, combine a Medoc base with a few days on the Atlantic coast, where Seignosse, Moliets and the courses around Biarritz bring a different, pine and dune character. This pairing makes the strongest week, but it involves a transfer south, so it is best secured as a planned itinerary with the tee times and lodging arranged in advance.
Our take
Southwest France is the rare destination where the non golfers in the group are as happy as the players, because the wine and food are the equal of the courses. Base yourself at Cabot Bordeaux for the cleanest stay and play, add a wine day, and if you have the week to spare, run south to the coast for a contrast of links and forest golf. The shoulder seasons of late spring and early autumn give the best blend of weather, value and, in autumn, the harvest.
Our Bordeaux and the southwest hub sets out the region, the wider France golf guide and best golf courses in France list put it in context, and the best time to play France guide helps you time it. Our team can build the trip and price it to the head.

Where do you play golf around Bordeaux and southwest France?

Many trips combine wine country golf with a few days on the coast.
Is southwest France a good golf and wine trip?
Yes. Few destinations pair championship golf with great wine and food as naturally as southwest France. A Medoc base puts world famous estates such as Margaux within reach of the first tee, which is why the region is sold as much on its wine tastings and gastronomy as on its scorecards.
