Courson (Lilas & Orange)
Formed in the early 1880s, Le Stade Français sports club offers its 12,000 members the opportunity to participate in an incredible total of twenty-three different sporting pursuits, from badminton to basketball, handball to hockey and, of course, the royal and ancient game of golf.
This respected club operates two golf facilities: a simple 9-hole setup at Golf du Haras Lupin, which lies only 20 kilometers to the west of the city centre in Paris, and an impressive 36-hole complex at Courson-Monteloup, situated some forty-four kilometres further south.
Flamboyant architect Robert von Hagge designed the four nines at Golf du Stade Français in the early 1990s, shifting substantial quantities of earth in the process, and the Lilas/Orange combination offers a game of two halves, with a hilly front nine and a water-laden inward half.
