Chantilly, Oise, France
Golf de Chantilly – Vineuil Course
One of France's most historic and celebrated golf clubs — Golf de Chantilly's Vineuil Course is a classic parkland masterpiece set among the ancient forests of the Oise, with a pedigree stretching back to 1908.
About the Course
Golf de Chantilly – Vineuil Course
Golf de Chantilly was established in 1908 and is one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in France. The Vineuil Course was redesigned by the legendary Tom Simpson — one of the great golf architects of the early 20th century — and is widely regarded as one of the finest parkland courses in continental Europe.
The course plays to 6,340 yards from the championship tees and is characterised by the ancient forest setting, the natural terrain undulations, and Simpson's masterful routing through the trees. The design rewards accuracy and course management, with the forest corridors creating a series of visually beautiful and strategically demanding holes that have tested the world's best players for over a century.
Golf de Chantilly has hosted the French Open on multiple occasions and is one of the most respected private clubs in France. Access for visiting golfers is subject to introduction and availability — and the experience of playing this historic course in the forest above Chantilly is among the most memorable in European golf.

The Course
Why It Stands Out
Tom Simpson Masterpiece
Golf de Chantilly's Vineuil Course was redesigned by Tom Simpson — one of the great golf architects of the early 20th century. His signature style of natural routing, strategic bunkering, and terrain integration creates a golf experience of extraordinary quality and historic depth.
Ancient Forest Setting
The course is set among the ancient forests of the Oise — a landscape of extraordinary beauty and tranquillity. The mature trees, natural terrain, and forest corridors create a sense of seclusion and focus that is among the most distinctive in European golf.
French Open Heritage
Golf de Chantilly has hosted the French Open on multiple occasions, welcoming the world's best players to the Oise forests. Its championship pedigree and its place in the history of French golf make it one of the most respected courses in continental Europe.
Chantilly Setting
The course sits above the town of Chantilly — home to the Château de Chantilly, the Musée Condé, and the famous Chantilly racecourse. The combination of the golf, the château, and the broader cultural richness of the region creates a travel experience of exceptional quality.
