Souillac Golf Course

at Souillac Golf & Country Club

Location: Lachapelle-Auzac, Occitanie (Dordogne Valley), France | Style: Parkland / Forest | Length: approx. 4,389 metres (4,800 yards) | Par: 67 | Designer: Jeremy Pern | Founded: 1996

Souillac Golf Course, located within Souillac Golf & Country Club, offers a charming and technical 18-hole experience set deep within a 60-hectare oak forest in the heart of southwest France’s Dordogne Valley. Known as Mas del Teil, the course is defined by its peaceful woodland surroundings, rolling terrain, and elevated viewpoints across the surrounding countryside.

Designed by Jeremy Pern, the par-67 layout is relatively short by modern standards, yet it places a premium on accuracy, course management, and intelligent shot placement. Narrow fairways, raised greens, and well-positioned bunkers ensure that players must think carefully on every hole. It’s a course that rewards patience and precision rather than brute force, making it particularly enjoyable for strategic golfers and relaxed holiday play.

Signature Holes

One of the most memorable holes is a demanding par-4 featuring an elevated green, where accuracy from the tee is essential to set up a precise approach. It perfectly reflects the course’s emphasis on thoughtful strategy and controlled shot-making.
