Golf de Domont-Montmorency, Golf course in Domont, France.
Golf de Domont-Montmorency is a private 18-hole course on a 70-hectare site in the Montmorency forest, on markedly sloping ground. The course, called "Les Châtaigniers", is a par 71 measuring 5,876 metres, with undulating greens often guarded by bunkers placed strategically. A flagstick in a white cup set flush into a putting green stands against a backdrop of trees.
The course was designed in 1965 by British architect Fred Hawtree, combining the natural forest terrain with strategic playing challenges. The layout has largely remained true to this original plan, representing golf course design from the post-war period.
The 18-hole course is named "Les Châtaigniers" after the chestnut trees of the Montmorency forest where it was laid out between 1963 and 1965. The Hawtree firm describes its strategic layout as testing a player's ability to use every club in the bag, with rolling greens often guarded by bunkers placed by design.
The club is private, so arrange access before travelling. The 18-hole course, a par 71 of 5,876 metres, lies on a 70-hectare site in the Montmorency forest, where the ground slopes markedly; allow for that gradient when planning a round.
