Golf course
Originally conceived by Baron Marcel Bich of Bic pens and razors fame, the Les Bordes golf course is built on what was previously his 1,700-acre (690 ha) hunting estate. The Les Bordes golf course was the first course designed and built in France by Robert von Hagge.[citation needed]
The Les Bordes Estate was taken over by an affiliate of RoundShield Partners in 2018. Since then, a fully private golf club with an international membership has been established. Six Senses Hotels also recently announced the projected opening of a luxury hotel (completely separate from the golf club) on the estate in 2022. A multitude of other non-golf amenities are also planned to complete in the near term.
A second 18-hole golf course and a 10-hole par three course designed by Gil Hanse are currently being built at Les Bordes. Both will be additions to the private golf club facilities.
