Golf du Lys Chantilly

Located at Lamorlaye in the heart of the forest of Whipped Cream in the Oise, the Lys Chantilly Golf Club was inaugurated in 1929. Originally there was only one 18-hole course: the famous course of Les Chênes.

L'golf history is prestigious : from 1934 The French men's team championship was held there, after which followed many other major tournaments where the local teams shone. Reputation made, the golf course also became a tennis club, welcoming the famous “Musketeers” Borotra, Brugnon, Cochet and Lacoste.

After the creation in 1976 of the 9-hole Bouleaux course, soon increased to 18 holes in 1980, the golf course underwent a vast renovation campaign in 2007:

• renovation of the two 18-hole courses: Oaks and Birches
• creation of the 9-hole compact
• rehabilitation of period residences ...

There are now two superb courses totaling 36 holes which perpetuate the tradition of excellence. Thus, the Golf du Lys Chantilly today ranks among the best golf courses in France.

Route: The Birches

• 18 Holes / Par 68

Successively laid out by architects Patrick Cros (1976) then Robert Berthet (1980), the 18-hole Bouleaux course is shorter and narrower than the oldest of the Oaks. He therefore requires great technical mastery and a solid set of irons to keep the ball in play.

Route: The oaks

• 18 Holes / Par 70

High hundred-year-old trees protecting the fairways from the wind, sandy soils protected from water and frost ... These are the natural assets of the 18-hole Les Chênes course, valued by the architect Tom Simpson when it was created in 1929. As for the difficulties, they arise. there are deceptive false dishes, bunkers lurking in the hollow of hillocks, corridors with vanishing lines sometimes narrow, sometimes wide: you measure your gestures with finesse and concentration to reach the end of the game.
