Golf de Chantilly's Vineuil course is a true “aristocrat” of French golf, widely regarded as one of the country's finest layouts. Located just over a kilometre from the sumptuous Château de Chantilly, the mix of open parkland and tree-lined holes are laid out on gently undulating terrain, surrounded by the Forêt de Chantilly.
At this prestigious club, the course benefits from excellent greenkeeping, which produces some of the best putting surfaces to be found anywhere around Paris. The layout demands good tee-to-green course management if you want to avoid the plentiful array of bunkering. Water hazards however do not play any part in proceedings.
Here at Chantilly you can enjoy the special atmosphere of a wonderfully quiet woodland environment, on a revered golf course that blends many open as well as tree-lined stretches. Immediately to the east is the Dolce Chantilly resort and golf course, but you'll not be aware of its presence on the other side of a thick band of trees and bushes.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; no visitors on weekends.
