Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche

On the western edge of Paris, between Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Versailles, Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche has two par-72 18-hole courses designed by Fred Hawtree, the Red and the Blue, on gently rolling parkland. The composite Red and Blue course has a long history of major events: for decades it hosted the Trophée Lancôme, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the European Tour, won by many great champions. It is a private club with a long tradition; access for visitors is limited, so check with the club. The Palace of Versailles and the Marly forest are about fifteen minutes away.
