About this course

Château Golf des Sept Tours occupies a historic estate in the Loire Valley, approximately 30 kilometers west of Tours. The course was designed by Olivier Don Gradi and Peter Harradine, blending contemporary European golf architecture with the natural character of the French countryside. The property takes its name from the château on the grounds, and the layout incorporates mature woodland, gentle elevation changes, and water features typical of the region's landscape. The routing moves through parkland terrain with tree-lined fairways and strategic bunkering that rewards accurate shot placement. Several holes play alongside or across water, while others navigate through corridors of established trees that frame the playing corridors. The design emphasizes variety in hole length and direction, with risk-reward opportunities balanced against more straightforward tests of execution. The greens feature moderate undulation and are protected by greenside hazards that require thoughtful approach play. The facility serves both members and visitors in a region known for its wine production and Renaissance architecture. The clubhouse maintains the traditional character expected of a Loire Valley estate, and the course attracts golfers touring the region's numerous châteaux and vineyards. The layout provides a representative example of French golf course design from the late twentieth century, combining strategic interest with the aesthetic qualities of the surrounding landscape.
