There’s nothing like hitting a pure golf shot. Everything feels right. From your takeaway to contact and into your follow-through, everything blends into the next. You look up, the ball’s high in the sky, before dropping, bouncing, and landing on target.

But perhaps more important are the places you golf and the people you golf with. Visiting world-class courses across the globe immerses you in nature, making every round a mini-vacation. It’s even better when you’re in the company of friends.

The Cabot Collection, a developer of luxury resort and residential golf destinations, just announced the addition of the former Golf Du Médoc Resort, a premier golf and wine destination in Bordeaux, France.

In Southwest France, Cabot Bordeaux promises a golf getaway like nothing else. Combining picturesque courses, luxury accommodations, and fine food and wine, the resort offers serious golfers a trip to remember. 

When it’s time to hit the links, two courses designed by well-known architects Bill Coore and Rod Whitman offer a mix of challenge and scenery. Both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine rate the layouts among the best in Europe. While creating the course, the designers paid homage to early 20th-century French golf architecture, which experienced a golden age before World War I occurred. Set among captivating land and requiring astute strategy, the courses are demanding yet beautiful.

After a round, guests can relax in the 79-room hotel, which has a restaurant highlighting regional French cuisine. To recover and recharge, a world-class spa offers a heated indoor pool, various treatments, a fitness room, and a hammam. To prepare for the next 18 holes, the Bernard Pascassio Training Center has golf simulation rooms, a practice course configuration, and a TaylorMade fitting room.

Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot, commented, “Bordeaux holds a special place in the hearts of travelers worldwide, known not only for its rich history and stunning landscapes but also for its remarkable culinary offerings and universally revered wine. We are thrilled to now have a presence in this iconic destination and look forward to offering guests unforgettable experiences that seamlessly blend exploration and cultural immersion with world-class golf.”

We announced earlier this year that traveling to London will soon cost you more, and that time has come. The UK government has officially opened applications for its new electronic travel authorization (ETA), which will be required for all U.S. citizens entering the UK starting January 8, 2025. 

The ETA allows visitors to stay in the UK for up to six months and must be secured before your trip. Without it, you may be denied entry at the border. Exceptions apply if you hold a visa, have permission to live, work, or study in the UK, or are a British or Irish citizen.

Here are things to do in Richmond for every type of traveler
A picture of Richmond Virginia's skyline at dusk

In the nearly 300 years since its founding in 1737, Richmond has teetered between periods of great prosperity and utter hardship. Today, it boasts a colorful "capital city" vibe like so many pint-sized capitals around the U.S. But there are plenty of things to do in Richmond, VA, beyond visiting historical monuments and statues, despite the area's deep roots in the country's ancestry. Think natural wonders like enjoying the fall foliage or a night on the town enjoying live music.
I spent three weeks in the area, and there was never a shortage of things to do, diverse neighborhoods to explore, and most importantly, extremely friendly folks who could point me in the right direction as I navigated the Richmond scene. I can confirm that boutique hotels, gallery spaces, and nouveau chefs are finding their groove in previously forgotten corners of the city. After spending a month in this RVA region, here are my top recommended restaurants, bars, hotels, and things to do in the quirky capital.
