Hosting Course

Cabot Bordeaux

The Châteaux course was voted Best Golf Course in France in 2014 by the World Golf Awards.  It adheres to the purest tradition of the Scottish ‘links’.  The wide fairways bordered by heathers, gorses and brooms carry the players through unspoiled nature. 

The quality of the greens, the effect of ocean winds and the technical richnessof the course design make this championship course a golfing challenge of the highest order.

History

The European Amateur Championship, established in 1986, is a prestigious annual 4-round stroke play event for elite male amateur golfers, held at various European venues each June. Attracting top global talent, it is highly regarded by the World Amateur Golf Ranking. 

 

The winner receives an invitation to The Open Championship, and top-5 finishers traditionally gain entry to The Open Final Qualifying. In 2023, it served as a final qualifier for the inaugural Open Amateur Series. José Luis Ballester won the 2023 championship with a record 21-under-par, becoming the first Spanish champion since Sergio Garcia in 1995.
