Golf de Chantilly *** 7.3

Golf de Chantilly was inaugurated in 1909. It was designed by J.H. Taylor and later redesigned by British architect Tom Simpson who designed many of the other famous golf courses in France like Morfontaine, Fontainebleau and Hossegor.

After World War II Golf de Chantilly had an 18 and 9 holes course. Mr. Jean-Louis Dupont wanted to restore two 18-hole courses in Chantilly by realizing, with the help of architect Donald Steel, 13 new holes. The Vineuil "Old Course" course has now been modified with 3 new holes and an extension of 10 holes has transformed the Longères course into an 18-hole course of international standards. Right now Golf de Chantilly has two 18-hole championship courses: the Longères course and the Vineuil course. Playing Golf de Chantilly is only possible during the week for visitors.

I played there with my son Kevin a few times, staying in the Hôtel Chantilly. The course is a good average course (ranked 853 in Europe) but not something special. Price/performance is fine.
