Golf Club de Lyon ☆ Follow

Golf Club de Lyon is located in Villette d'Anthon, France, and features two distinct 18-hole championship courses. The Les Brocards course is a Par 72 measuring 6,105 meters, while the Les Sangliers course, established in 1991, is also a Par 72 but extends to 6,575 meters from the back tees. Both courses are designed to offer varied challenges, with the Sangliers layout specifically noted for its technical and physical demands. The setting for the Les Sangliers course is described as completely natural, characterized by woods and water. This course presents a formidable challenge due to the presence of water on nine of its holes, requiring golfers to master all aspects of their game to perform well. The Les Brocards course, while hiding its difficulty, is noted for its charm and is part of the club's high-level DNA, offering freedom of play for members and visitors alike. The club has a significant tournament history, having hosted the French Open twice, in 1979 and 2001. The Les Brocards course was the venue for the 1979 Open de France and other international European Tour events, including a 1993 tournament where Italian golfer Constantino Rocca set a course record with a score of 63. These events have helped establish the club's reputation for hosting high-level international competition. Access to both international-class courses is available every day of the year, catering to a range of playing styles and motivations. The club emphasizes respect for the game and offers flexibility in how golfers choose to play, whether with friends, family, or for sport and leisure. The facility also includes a clubhouse with dining options and a pro shop, supporting the overall golfing experience.
