Crécy (Vignoly)

The Vignoly course at the Domaine de Crécy complex sits next to the small town of Crécy-la-Chapelle, not far from Disneyland Paris, and it’s the only Arnold Palmer-designed layout to be found in all of France.

Set comfortably inside a large 270-acre property – and with twenty-eight air-conditioned suites, a swimming pool and tennis court complementing the golf component – this 27-hole facility certainly has a lot going for it.

Known as La Brie Monpichet when it first opened in 1987, the golf facility changed hands in the new millennium, which saw Arnold Palmer’s design company adding the Vignoly layout in 2009, featuring fourteen water hazards and sixty-three bunkers.

The main 18-hole Vignoly course at Crécy extends to 6,362 metres from the back markers so it’s long enough to test the biggest of hitters, while the original 9-hole Montpichet layout is ideal for beginners or as a warm-up before playing the main event.
