Golf <strong>Travel</strong> to France BY: STEVE DRAKE Tucked away in the French woodlands of the Loire Valley, you'll find the exceptional Les Bordes Golf Club. Originally established by Baron Marcel Bich, a French entrepreneur and inventor who was also the founder of BIC, the company that brought us the iconic x`pens and lighters. Opened in 1987, the club is known for high end amenities and its prestigious private membership. 14 . <strong>DRIFT</strong>TRAVEL.COM
Widely considered to be Von Hagge’s greatest masterpiece, the Old Course has been consistently ranked amongst the top three courses in Europe over the past 30 years. The Old Course I t has been said that when the great Texan Robert von Hagge designed this course, his intent was to throughly mess with even the best who comes to challenge his creation. I could not agree more. As you begin to walk the course, you might say there is a bit of an American feel, but a quick look around and there is no doubt that you are in France. Large balls of mistletoe growing high in the trees, a 600-year old abandoned monastery, and every once and awhile a mighty stag will march across your path, as if he is the keeper of this enchanted forest. Yes, this is France. With gently rolling fairways, this par 72 Old Course is lush and well established, so be watchful of where you place (or should I say misplace) your tee shot. A miss here will leave you with a difficult second shot. Most of the greens are well protected with water and there is sand everywhere. As you approach the 6th green there is an old cross just beyond the bunker that runs along the right side. Like a beacon of hope for those whose shots have gone astray. The perfect spot for a quick prayer... you’ll likely need it. TRAVEL OFTEN . LIVE WELL . 15
