For golf enthusiasts, there is no greater pleasure than stepping onto a meticulously kept green surrounded by the raw, natural beauty of the French countryside. Just a short, picturesque drive from the peaceful haven of Yviers, the Golf d’Aubeterre offers an idyllic setting to perfect your swing. At Le Boisdalon, we love helping our guests find the perfect balance between deep relaxation and engaging outdoor activity. Whether you are an avid golfer who never travels without their clubs or a curious beginner looking to try something new, this local gem is a fantastic addition to your holiday itinerary.
When you choose our Chambres d’Hôtes over a standard Hotel, you gain much more than just a place to sleep. You gain a gateway to personalized regional experiences and a cozy Bed & Breakfast that serves as your restorative home base. After a quiet, slow morning enjoying breakfast on our terrace, a scenic drive through the Charente landscape will bring you to the lush fairways of one of the region’s most charming golf courses.
A Course Woven into the Landscape
Located on the grounds of the beautiful Manoir de Longeveau, just moments away from Aubeterre-sur-Dronne (officially recognized as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”), this 9-hole, par-32 course is an absolute delight. It is expertly designed to be accessible yet appropriately challenging, weaving its way through ancient, towering trees, natural water features, and the gently rolling hills that define the Charente and Dordogne border.
The atmosphere here is wonderfully relaxed, far removed from the overly formal or crowded environments of larger, commercial clubs. It is a place where you can truly connect with the sport and the stunning natural environment simultaneously.
Why Golf d’Aubeterre is a Must-Visit
Adding a morning or afternoon of golf to your Charente getaway offers a unique way to experience the local landscape.
- Welcoming for All Levels: Whether you are looking to lower your handicap or just want a casual game in the sun, the course accommodates players of all abilities. Equipment rental is also available on-site for your convenience.
- Stunning Surroundings: Every hole offers a different, postcard-perfect view of the rural French countryside, making the walk between greens just as enjoyable as the game itself.
- The Perfect Day Out: Because of its proximity to Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, you can easily combine your round of golf with a delicious lunch in the village square and a visit to its famous subterranean monolithic church.
The “19th Hole” at Le Boisdalon
After sinking your final putt and perhaps enjoying a refreshing drink at the clubhouse, the drive back to Yviers is the perfect time to let the satisfaction of a well-played game settle in. As you navigate the quiet country roads back to Le Boisdalon, you will appreciate the seamless transition from the active energy of the golf course to the absolute serenity of our retreat.
Upon your return, our Bed & Breakfast is waiting to welcome you back. Leave your golf shoes at the door, find your favorite spot in our sprawling garden, and celebrate your best shots of the day over a glass of local Charente wine. We take great pride in ensuring that your adventures are perfectly balanced by luxury and comfort. Let us know if you would like to book a tee time, and we will happily assist you in arranging your perfect golfing day!
