Exciting New Developments at Les Bordes Golf Club
There’s a lot going on at Les Bordes Golf Club that has many folks buzzing with excitement! The historic estate, nestled in the charming Sologne Forest in the stunning Loire Valley, is undergoing an impressive transformation thanks to its new owners, who are part of the European private equity firm RoundShield. Since they acquired the property, they have injected a hefty amount of investments to revitalize this stunning 1,400-acre property.
This Place is Just 90 Minutes from Paris!
If you’ve never been to the Loire Valley, you’re missing out! Known for its beautiful chateaux, enchanting medieval towns, and mouth-watering cuisine, it’s a region everyone should experience. Just a short 90-minute drive from Paris, this UNESCO World Heritage region is a delightful blend of breathtaking landscapes and cultural wonders. Now, it’s about to get even better!
New Family-Oriented Facilities
One of the standout features that visitors and members will love is the wide range of new, family-friendly facilities. Imagine spending a sunny afternoon at a natural swimming lake complete with a white sand beach! Or perhaps enjoying an adventurous day with boating, fishing, or cycling along the picturesque paths. The outdoor fun doesn’t end there – with electric quad paths, a new sports and tennis center, and plenty of ways to interact with nature, there’s something for everyone. Families can also enjoy pony rides, a petting farm, and an adventure playground. Oh, and let’s not forget the upcoming zip lines, which will only add to the thrill!
Introducing the New Course!
The golf enthusiasts can also rejoice as this summer will see the grand opening of the New Course at Les Bordes Golf Club, designed by the acclaimed architect Gil Hanse. This exciting addition means the club will offer not one, but three incredible courses – including the renowned Old Course, originally designed by Robert von Hagge in 1987. The Old Course is celebrated for its par-72 layout, stretching over 7,000 yards, and recent enhancements will make the game even more enjoyable for players of all levels.
Golfers can especially look forward to the Wild Piglet, a delightful 10-hole short course that will accompany the New Course. This will be Hanse’s first project in continental Europe, making this addition even more special!
New Luxurious Amenities Being Developed
In addition to the courses, Les Bordes Golf Club is also expanding its clubhouse facilities. A variety of renovations have been completed, with the design work expertly handled by London-based architects Michaelis Boyd. Members will soon have access to a modern gym, a sports bar, a mini-spa, and a cozy lounge, complete with a golf simulator. This new space is set for completion by March 2021!
Future Plans Include Luxury Residences
But wait, there’s more! In an exciting partnership with Six Senses, plans to turn the beautiful Château Bel Air into a luxury hotel and spa are well underway. This stunning hotel, expected to open in September 2026, will boast 50 luxurious accommodations along with a large spa and gourmet dining options. Homebuyers will have access to exclusive Six Senses Loire Valley homes, featuring 3 to 7 bedrooms, located just a stone’s throw away from the golf course and various recreational activities.
