The Clubhouse was redesigned internally in 2019 by architects Michaelis Boyd to offer modern comforts whilst preserving the rustic feel of the fireplaces and vaulted wood beam ceilings, which nods to the charm of the surrounding Loire Valley architecture.

The team is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for our members and their guests, providing an eclectic menu with seasonal, local produce and an extensive wine list.

Like the Clubhouse, the cottage interiors are contemporary, whilst also preserving the historical elements and original features of the buildings. Outdoor terracing means you can while away the hours watching players' approach shots to the 18th green.
