Golf de Chantilly Le Vineuil

Evidence of the quality of this course is held in its history of hosting prestigious golfing tournaments, including the French Open on numerous occasions. As a par-71, this course mainly appeals to those possessing a lower handicap due to the accurate approach angles needed when taking on the complex greens. Due to the challenge it bears and its stunning landscape, this course is widely considered to be one of the most exclusive courses in the whole of France. Players are encouraged to play with strategy here as they must overcome the testing placement of bunkers.

The course’s architect, Tom Simpson, expertly blended the landscape’s natural woodland with his own vision to create a highly regarded European parkland course. The mix of an open parkland style combined with a slight undulating terrain creates an exhilarating round of golf. Golf de Chantilly Le Vineuil has upheld its excellent reputation with its impeccable green keeping which produces some of the best putting surfaces in France. To avoid your scorecard being seriously hindered by the strategic placement of bunkers across the course, it is imperative that players successfully manage their tee-to-green plan. Luckily for them however, water hazards do not come into play in this course

A particularly notable hole in this course is the 1st hole due to its lengthy approach, sophisticated green design, and tee shot which requires your upmost attention. This hole takes no prisoners, and throws the players into the deep end right from the start. Bunkers line the right side of the hole, and thick greenery lines the left. Therefore your initial tee shot could make or break your round of golf.

On this course you can enjoy the best of both worlds; an exquisite peaceful woodland environment on a well-respected golf course. Golfers are encouraged to bring a surplus of balls as with some holes they bear a slight slope lined with thick forestry; there is always a great chance of misplacing your ball. This course requires a complex game as whilst it demands a long drive initially from the tee, it also forces players to aim with extreme caution at the same time in order to avoid the forest, which has been known to swallow many birdies.
