Golf du Vert-Parc

In the heart of the Pévèle countryside in Romanesque Flanders, bordered by the Phalempin national forest, the Thumeries-Moncheaux Golf Club offers golfers peace and serenity just 30 minutes from Lille and 20 minutes from Douai.
Golf history

The Thumeries-Moncheaux golf course was created in 1932 in the Lensois mining area. The initiative does not come from the fortunes of the coal mines, but from that of the Béghin brothers, the kings of sugar. The 9 holes built by the Englishman Percy Boomer are private, reserved for family, friends and customers of the sugar refinery.
Golf, a beautiful inland course, lived in this way until the 70s, when the family dispersed to the detriment of golf. Open to as many people as possible, the club reacted at the end of the 80s by deciding to expand the field.
Jean-Manuel Rossi takes matters into his own hands and delivers 18 holes in September 1991. Of course, the contrast is noticeable between the “Boomer” and the “Rossi” but twenty years after the extension, everyone is satisfied with the design.

The course
The Thumeries golf course deploys its greens and fairways over 5994 meters to offer an 18 hole, Par 72, harmonious, rather flat, with beautiful greens. Also, a few water features on the return will spice up your game and thwart some risky approaches such as hole 11 and 15. Its slope of 139 is by no means a coincidence. Indeed, this course has to be earned with a few long dog-leg par 4s. In the morning mists while the dew makes the greens iridescent, the lights filtered through the branches of the old oaks are a delight for all early risers likely to come across a deer at the edge of Lenglart wood.
