Following a full refurbishment the Golf course at Relais de Margaux is full re-opened. The fairways are perfectly manicured, and are lined by ash and elm trees around a course that has been a welcome addition to the golfing landscape in France's South West. The gentle undulations are peppered with a number of fearsome water hazards, but Golf de Margaux is essentially a resort course, and as such it is playable for the average golfer.
There are some spectacular holes, particularly on the home stretch, which can make or break your scorecard on a whim. Already maturing nicely, Relais de Margaux is fast becoming a favourite destination for regular golf holiday visitors to France.
Standing on the 12th tee, your nerves are sure to be trembling; you're faced with an island green set 164 yards in the distance - anything but a pure strike will result in a watery grave!
