Golf

The 18 hole golf course of Chateau des Vigiers was created by Donald Steel, a man known for contributing to the design of some famous courses worldwide, including the Jubilee and Eden courses at St. Andrews.
The course is famous because of its enthralling setting amidst plum trees, oak woods, lakes and vineyards.
They encourage the guests to take part in the weekly Golf competitions on most Sundays during the season.

 

The lake in front of the Château is home to many Black Bass. If you are after a moment of real peace and quiet, then some fly fishing is a great way to leave all your troubles behind. Equipment is available from the Caddy Master.

The Brasserie is situated in the old wine making building and retains the character and charm of its historic origins including its impressive vaulted ceiling. In the warm and relaxed atmosphere, golfers, families and their friends gather in front of the open fire in winter or outside on the terrace in the summer under the shade of an ancient walnut tree. The cuisine serves lighter meals such as omelettes or salads as well full menus including local specialities such as foie gras and confit de canard.

Gourmet Restaurant “Les Fresques”
Situated in the West Wing of the ancient château, the Fresques is adorned with Renaissance style frescos. With a cosy and chic atmosphere, diners enjoy superb views over the lake and a high standard of cuisine accompanied by discreet and professional service. The menus are simple and delicious and vary according to the season with an emphasis on seafood and local produce. For aficionados of the Périgord, we recommend the menu “Terroir et Tradition” which is created around two of the most important ingredients in the region: duck and foie gras. Open for dinner every night except Sunday and Monday.

DORDOGNE AND CHATEAU DES VIGIERS

 
Chateau des Vigiers 
 

Château des Vigiers is situated in South West France, about an hour's drive East of Bordeaux in the Dordogne. The area is renowned for its outstanding beauty, history and cultural heritage, as well as its superior wines and culinary delights. It is the perfect base for exploring the mediaeval towns of Sarlat and the Périgord Noir to the East, the wine capital of Saint Emilion to the West, and also the world famous prehistoric cave paintings at Lascaux and the Dordogne valley with its thousand Châteaux.


A tranquil, "back to nature" setting ideal for relaxation is offered. The climate is temperate and the winters mild; indeed Bordeaux is just a 2 hour drive from the Spanish border. Our multilingual staff are delighted to organise visits to sample the produce at the AOC vineyards of Bordeaux and Bergerac, or enjoy the many local markets, where you can buy truffles, cèpes, and foie gras.
 
All in all, this is definitely the place for golfers and non golfers alike to unwind in a stress free, unspoilt and temperate environment. Interestingly, less than fifty percent of our guests actually play golf, so there is no need for non golfers to feel left out.
