Golf d'Orléans-Donnery, 18-hole golf course in Donnery, France
Golf d'Orléans-Donnery is an 18-hole course that winds through forest paths and open spaces with varied terrain throughout. The ground rises and falls at different points, creating distinct playing conditions across the layout.
The course was founded in 1952 by American military personnel stationed in the region after World War II. The original clubhouse still stands and reflects this military heritage.
The golf course has shaped recreational life in the region for many years and attracts players from across the Loire Valley. Visitors find both beginners and experienced golfers here, keeping the social traditions of the sport alive.
The facility has a driving range, equipment rental, a putting green, and golf carts available for use. A pro shop on site sells clubs, balls, and other gear to help you prepare for your round.
The first fairway was originally designed to serve as an emergency landing strip for the nearby American Air Force base. This double purpose in the early years shows how golf and military needs once overlapped here.
