20 km SW of centre of Paris.
Just south of Versailles, leave the N2 motorway at exit 2, direction Jouy en Josas. From the south side of the roundabout (just off motorway) take Rue du Pont Colbert to golf. Entrance to golf is just off motorway.
Golf de la Boulie (La Vallée course): Golf de la Boulie is part of the Racing Club de France (RCF), one of the biggest sporting clubs in France. No surprise therefore that it enjoys all the trappings of a top-class golf venue. The clubhouse and general facilities are excellent, and the two 18-hole courses (plus a nine-holer) are really worth a visit.
Both La Boulie's tree-lined courses are routed over pleasantly undulating terrain. There are a few climbs to make, but nothing too strenuous. Located close to Versailles in the suburbs of Paris, if you want a break from all that exhaustive sightseeing, then there's no better solution than a day at La Boulie - a round on each course and an excellent lunch in between.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; no visitors on weekends.
Must book in advance with the secretariat. Proof of handicap is required and must be shown.
