Golf de Fontainebleau
Inaugurated in 1909, the Golf de Fontainebleau is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf courses in France. Regularly ranked as one of Europe's finest courses, it offers an exceptional golfing experience in the heart of the Fontainebleau forest, just 800 metres from the town centre and within easy reach of the famous château.
An exceptional career
This 18 holes par 72 is 6,030 metres long and is a real adventure between rocks, heather, broom and bunkers. Originally laid out by Julien Chantepie, redesigned in 1920 by the famous architect Tom Simpson and modified in 1963 by Fred Hawtree, it is located on the former imperial hunting ground.
The course is characterised by its relatively narrow fairways, lined with trees of various species (pines, birches, wild cherries, beeches and hundred-year-old oaks) and defended by more than 100 fine sand bunkers. Its sandy terrain guarantees optimum playing conditions whatever the weather.
