The course I grew up playing. Reminiscing of great times spent with my cousin and grandfather every time I play or think about it. Golf isn't the most accessible sport in France, and growing up in Paris didn't make it an easier task at all, between the outrageous prices most courses have and the absurd, yet real cliché that "golf is for the rich". Luckily enough, having family on both sides of the Atlantic, I also had the chance to discover the beauty of golf in the United States, how easy-going and calm it can be compared to France.
Both grandfathers on each side of the Atlantic played enough for me to really get into the sport, and this course has really become a reference for me in France.
Beautiful sceneries and some technicality are to be found here.
