The New Course designed by Gil Hanse

Opened in July 2021, the New Course was designed by Gil Hanse, one of the world’s most respected contemporary golf architects. His portfolio includes Castle Stuart and Ohoopee Match Club, alongside extensive restorations of celebrated U.S. Open venues such as Winged Foot, The Country Club and Los Angeles Country Club. Hanse has also restored or renovated more than twenty internationally recognised courses, including Merion and Fishers Island in the United States, as well as Royal Sydney and Tokyo Golf Club.

Developed on sandy soil with abundant natural fescue and broom, the New Course contrasts with the Old Course, playing firm and fast with wide corridors framed by heather. Its strategy is more subtle, revealing itself over time as familiarity with the layout grows. Designed as a walking course, it measures 6,615 yards from the Member tees with short transitions between greens and tees, extending to 7,285 yards for medal and match play competitions or for those seeking a sterner test.

"There are elements of a number of golf courses including a lot of the great heathland courses around London and several heathland courses around Paris. I think that Jim Wagner and I are always influenced by Pine Valley, which is very near to us here at home, and I think that some of the scale of National Golf Links is apparent out there. If you roll all of those into one, I think that's a pretty good recipe."

New Course & Wild Piglet Architect

Robert von Hagge’s original masterpiece

The Old Course has been consistently ranked amongst the top three courses in Europe over the past 30 years.

Completed in 1987, the Old Course is a classic tree-lined, 7,044-yard (6,443 meters) par-72 course, that carves its way through the Sologne Forest. Intertwined with a stunning complex of lakes that offer a sublimely serene setting as well as defining some of the most challenging holes on the course, the Old Course is widely considered to represent modern architecture at its very best.

"Les Bordes is undoubtedly the most celebrated golf course I’ve had the privilege to work on... Les Bordes possesses an inexplicable, but tangible, soul; which is authentic and addicting. Everyone connected with the place, everyone who visits, experiences this. And, once you have experienced it, it is impossible to be indifferent about your feelings for Les Bordes."

In addition to the Old and New Courses at Les Bordes, there is a 10 hole par three course called The Wild Piglet.

Built adjacent to the New Course, The Wild Piglet was unveiled to Members in late 2020 and has proven to be extremely popular; a perfect way to introduce juniors to golf and for Members to sharpen their short game.

The Wild Piglet has been ranked in the Top 25 Short Courses in the World by Golf Magazine.
