- In France, golf still has the reputation of an exclusive game only for the well-offs and it is not very easy to play
golf in Paris but it is possible ! To find out, try www.golfyclub.com
(with more than 600, France has the largest number of golmf courses
in Europe)
- Practice grounds in Paris :
- Hippodrome d'Auteuil 75016 tel
01 44 30 70 00 ; 8 am to 8 pm except days of horse races
- Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud tel
01 47 71 39 22, including a 9-hole golf course
- Jardin d'Acclimatation (within
the Bois de Boulogne) tel 01 45 00 16 64 ; 9:30 am to 7 pm or
9 pm
- We play (not very often) at
the Golf de Maintenon (40 miles West of Paris), in the park of
the castle which once belonged to Madame de Maintenon, the last
wife of the Sun King. The golf course is crossed by a HUGE aqueduct
which was built to transfer water to the castle of Versailles
(40 miles away). A nice golf course but definitely too many water
hazards...
- Play glof in a wonderful site
where the club-house is a historical castle ! There are two beautiful
chateaux
golfs near Paris.
