Loire Valley, France
The morning dew still rests, untouched, on the pristine grass of this picturesque course as you tee off for the first time that day. The course has been crafted with the help of Arnold Parmer and Paul McGinley and your backdrop is the French countryside, specifically Loire Valley countryside, and the it’s all yours. You’re the first and last to play for the duration of your stay, and it comes with the considerable bonus of the 18th-century Château du Coudreceau at your disposal. Here, the Michelin-standard chefs create menus based on the very best of French produce, always paired with the finest wines made from the vines that surround you in this stunning region of France and taken from the 250-year-old cellar. Should limbs need reinvigorating after a round (or two), there’s also a swimming pool and gym at your disposal. Plus, the pool’s always empty it is, after all, yours, just like the golf course.
Private tours can be arranged to the best wineries nearby or perhaps even a balloon ride across the Loire Valley region. But, that would mean leaving the luxury and splendour of this special chateau, built in 1775 during the reign of Louis XVI, the last King of France. Fittingly, Château du Coudreceau is fit for a king, especially one with a passion for golf.
