About Gujan Mestras Golf Club
Gujan Mestras Golf Club is in a lovely site in Bordeaux but far away from any sizeable towns. Luckily it's not too far if you're staying in the ever-improving seaside and marina resort of Arcachon.
Designed by Alain Prat – A French disciple of the American way of golf course design - Gujan Mestras is probably his best course and measures 6900 yards off the back tees with a par of 72. It's easy walking and very visual. The course starts gently and then it hits you with a couple of hard holes, eases off, then comes in again. But, like all good courses, most of the hazards are there to tease you psychologically...you'll enjoy this course a lot.

Our take
Gujan Mestras is Alain Prat at his best, 27 easy-walking holes near Arcachon that start gently and then let the water do the arguing.
- Serious golfersTake the back tees at 6,900 yards and it becomes a genuine driving test in the American style. The 14th is where good rounds come apart, and even the extra nine hides a nasty one at its 5th.
- Higher handicapsFlat as you like, barely twenty metres of climb all day, so the challenge is entirely about avoiding water rather than surviving the walk. Take the gentle opening holes as a chance to settle.
- SocietiesWith 27 holes there is room to move a big group around, and the easy walking suits mixed abilities. Base the trip in Arcachon; the course sits on its own but the drive is short.
