The best golf courses for golfing holidays in Chantilly: Chantilly Vineuil - Paris International - Apremont - Mont Griffon - Club du Lys - Chateau de Raray

Chantilly - Vineuil Architect: T. Simpson. 18 holes: 6396m: par 71.
The No.1 course in France, steeped in golfing history. Crafted way back in 1909 with a graceful Clubhouse that has let time slip by unnoticed. Quite simply, a must.
N.B. Only one buggy available and you will need a doctor's note to use it.

Chantilly - LongEres Architect: D. Steel. 18 holes: 6338: par 72.
The other course at Chantilly G.C. - complements beautifully its senior sibling. And is a very good test in its own right. N.B. The three holes nearest the Clubhouse are from the original French Open layout.

Apremont Architect: J. Jacobs. 18 holes: 6436m: par 72.
Resolutely holds its position in John Jacobs’ personal top ten. Carved through established woodland that boasts a huge variety of trees and colours: especialyy pretty in the Autumn. A fair test of golf with many dog-legs to plot your way around. Superb Clubhouse facilities, including Japanese baths and saunas.

Paris International Golf Club Architect: J. Nicklaus. 18 holes: 6319m: par 72.
A wonderful Jack Nicklaus design: rolling tree-lined countryside, deep forest, plus the odd island green... The level front nine with its large water hazards contrasts quite markedly with the swooping hills and thick forest of the back nine. Always in fantastic condition, loved by everybody who plays here. Great value buggies too (with GPS) if booked in advance through us.

Mont-Griffon
Architect: T. Huau.
18 + 9 holes: 5905m: par 72.
A modern layout with slick greens and plenty of water hazards. High on a plateau to the South of Chantilly the course looks out over the forests of Chantilly. Plus a formidable 9 hole course and vast academy.

Dolce Chantilly Architect: T. Nelson (1993). 18 holes: 6209m: par 72.
A course that has improved well over the years with the trees and shrubs that were planted to add shape to the open flat land now starting to fill-out. However, many holes are still open to "self-expression" with the driver and the Greens are very good making the Dolce course an ideal venue to start your week with a gentle round upon arrival at the hotel.

ChAteau de Raray Architect: P. Léglise. 18 holes: 6455m: par 72.
Very enjoyable woodland layout, through thick forest (Woburnesque?) in the grounds of a fine Chateau. Easy walking with just a few gentle slopes and hummocks shaping the holes. Scene of the Montgomery v Furyk match and famed also for its role as the setting for the original 1930's black & white film “Beauty and the Beast”.

International Club du Lys
Occasionally accessible to visitors by special request - please ask us if you are interested in playing.

Les ChEnes Architect: T. Simpson. 18 holes: 6022m: par 71.
Lovely parkland course, similar to Chantilly Vineuil in many ways (same course architect); one of the elite Parisian Clubs. The combination of two fairly short easily walkable courses and a stylish Clubhouse makes a wonderful golfing day out.

Les Bouleaux 18 holes.
A shorter, tighter course, with limited bunkering and intertwined amongst Les Chenes. Ideal for walking off the undoubtedly fine lunch you will have enjoyed!
