“Anyone playing Cabot Bordeaux is going to enjoy a distinctly French experience”, said Bill Coore, golf course architect. “Going from Cabot Cape Breton to Cabot Highlands to Cabot Saint Lucia to Cabot Bordeaux offers experiences that are as different and as varied as you could ever imagine”.
To play at Cabot Bordeaux is to step back in time. Its courses beautifully showcase the essence of golf architecture in France, paying homage to what could have been. In the early 20th century, the world of golf course design believed France was the next frontier for exceptional work until World War I stopped this momentum.
