The Cabot Collection, developer and operator of luxury resort and residential golf destinations, announces the portfolio addition of Cabot Bordeaux, a premier destination for golf and wine enthusiasts located in one of the world’s most famous wine regions.
The captivating property sits on 400 acres of verdant landscape amidst rolling vineyards and picturesque French countryside. This marks a significant milestone for Cabot as it expands its international presence to include its first continental European location.
Formerly known as Golf Du Médoc Resort, this is Cabot’s first location in continental Europe, in Bordeaux, France, known as the wine capital of the world. The property includes two 18-hole championship golf courses, a 79-room hotel, a restaurant, and a world-class spa. The resort has been refreshed with updated design elements while preserving its historic charm and interior design, led by acclaimed UK-based design firm Russell Sage Studio.
Cabot Bordeaux joins a growing portfolio of The Cabot Collection properties that includes Cabot Cape Breton in Nova Scotia,Cabot Highlands in Scotland, Cabot Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, Cabot Revelstoke in British Columbia and Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida.

What to expect?
Cabot Bordeaux promises a harmonious blend of luxurious wine country sophistication and laidback charm. The property showcases two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by acclaimed architects Bill Coore and Rod Whitman. Both courses are lauded among the best in Europe by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest. The resort also includes a 79-room hotel, a refined restaurant showcasing regional French cuisine, and a world-class spa featuring a heated indoor swimming pool, hammam, fitness room, and variety of treatments.
The Bernard Pascassio Training Center has state-of-the-art golf simulation rooms, a practice course configuration, TaylorMade fitting room, and a lot more to improve your game.
“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.
About Bordeaux
Cosmopolitan, historic, and the epicenter of French wine, Bordeaux and its surrounding villages are a destination to savour, even if you don’t drink wine or play golf. The destination is home to beautiful quays; historical monuments, museums and castles, and a network of high-speed trains facilitating easy exploration to neighboring towns. It’s also full of superb restaurants and narrow streets to explore along the Garonne River.
Just a short drive from the resort lies the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its 2,000-year vineyard history and underground wine caves. The Bordeaux-Merignac International Airport is located twenty minutes south of the property, and Paris is a two-hour train ride away on the high-speed TGV rail.
