A delightful setting populated by deer
The original layout was designed by the English architect Bill Baker in 1990. For almost ten years, the architect Jean-Claude Cornillot carried out a number of changes and renovations. The 18-hole “Les Chênes” golf course at Golf des Yvelines regularly hosts high-level amateur events, an indicator of its quality and the recognition it enjoys.
A demanding, technical golf course in a woodland setting. You need to demonstrate precision from your first stroke; the greens offer great variety and are well protected.
