THE BEST GOLF COURSES FOR ORLEANS GOLF HOLIDAYS
Golfbreaks including: Les Aisses, Limère-Orléans & Cheverny.
Limere-Orleans Architect: C. Robinson. 18 holes. 6,232m: par 72.
A very nicely-balanced
course designed by the internationally renowned American: Cabell
Robinson, but in one of his more restrained moods. Still, in true US style, the risks and rewards offered by
the well-planned hazards are fair and easy to see from the Tee,
ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable game.
At Limère-Orléans, one normally scores what one deserves: if only that was always true!
Les Aisses Architect: O. Brizon. 3 x 9 holes: 6,438m: par 72.
Three very tough loops of nine holes give you the full spectrum
of golfing problems: water, trees, or sand! Olivier Brizon was tasked with creating a golf course tougher than the nearby Les Bordes: we think he succeeded!
New owners are now running the Club and have constructed a larger, modern Clubhouse and have upgraded the changing facilities too.
Chateau de Cheverny Architect: O. Van der Vynckt. 18 holes: 6,276m: par 71.
A more relaxing course on predominately flat terrain. Liquids come into play around the petite Clubhouse: in the form of water hazards out on the course, an inviting swimming pool beside the Clubhouse and the dangerously drinkable Vins de Cheverny to be found, suitably chilled, indoors.
Les Bordes
The current owners of Les Bordes have, once again, closed their doors to visitors sadly: hopefully the spirit of golf will return one day....
