Venue

Golf des Yvelines

Île-de-France, France

Golf des Yvelines is situated within a wooded park of 90 hectares located 30 minutes from Paris near La Queue-Lez-Yvelines. The facility features two courses: Les Chênes, an 18-hole championship course, and Les Tilleuls, a 9-hole course. Both layouts are centered around the Château de la Couharde, a 16th-century castle that serves as the clubhouse. The courses are characterized by their wooded setting with century-old trees, providing a naturally challenging environment. The terrain takes advantage of the mature landscape, creating scenic and demanding play. The 18-hole course represents the primary championship layout, while the 9-hole course offers an accessible alternative. The facility emphasizes environmental stewardship, implementing water management practices, biodiversity preservation, and controlled use of phytosanitary products. Golf des Yvelines is working toward environmental certification standards. The venue accommodates both casual play and competitive events, supported by practice facilities, a pro shop, and on-site dining within the historic château setting. The courses welcome manual and electric trolleys for play.
