Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Dordogne?

We highly recommend visiting in spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) for the most enjoyable golfing weather. You'll experience comfortable temperatures and lush courses without the intense heat or crowds of peak summer. Plus, securing tee times is generally much easier during these shoulder seasons.

What kind of golf experience can I expect from Dordogne's courses?

You'll discover a delightful collection of parkland courses, often beautifully integrated into the region's rolling hills and ancient woodlands. Expect well-maintained layouts that prioritize natural beauty and strategic play over brute force, offering a relaxed yet engaging round. These courses truly reflect the tranquil charm of the Dordogne countryside.

Besides golf, what are the must-do experiences in the Dordogne region?

Beyond the fairways, you absolutely must delve into the region's rich history and incredible gastronomy. We suggest exploring the iconic châteaux like Beynac or Castelnaud, visiting the prehistoric caves of Lascaux, and indulging in the local markets for truffles, foie gras, and fantastic regional wines. It's a perfect cultural and culinary complement to your golf.

How easy is it to travel between golf courses and other attractions in Dordogne?

A rental car is truly essential for navigating Dordogne; public transport won't adequately serve your golf or sightseeing needs. The roads are generally excellent, and driving through the picturesque landscape between courses or to a medieval village is part of the region's charm. Distances between most courses are quite manageable, typically within an hour's drive.

Is golfing in Dordogne a good value compared to other French golf destinations?

We find Dordogne offers exceptional value, especially when you compare it to the more high-profile golf regions in France. Green fees are generally more accessible, and you'll often discover charming, authentic gîtes or B&Bs that provide a more budget-friendly and immersive stay. You get a high-quality, unpretentious golf experience without the premium price tag.
