Villeneuve-sur-Lot Golf and Country Club is a new name for an old and well-established golf course (Castelnaud), built in 1987, and is widely recognised as one of the best in the "Lot et Garonne".
Villeneuve-sur-Lot (Villeneuve-sur-Lot)
This 18 hole, par 72 championship course blends into its surroundings, using the many natural gradients, elevation changes and contours to add to its challenging nature. The course is a pleasure for golfers of all abilities; however there are plenty of hazards and tests including elevated greens, undulating fairways, water features and numerous strategically placed bunkers.
The fairways are lined with fruit trees and there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside all over the course, most notably from the 8th and 14th holes.
18 holes. Par 72. 6679 yards. Parkland.
