UGolf du Coudray-Montceaux is a 27-hole estate. The main course, Les Marronniers, is a Par 71 spanning 5761 meters. Located in Essonne (91), 30 minutes from Paris, it is near the A6 and close to Orly and Roissy airports. The Les Marronniers course extends over nearly 6 km on a slightly hilly layout. It is relatively short but narrow, facing the Rougeau Forest. The second course is the 9-hole La Guiche.
Opened in 1960 and designed by Charles Kenneth Cotton, a famous British architect, the Coudray Golf Course has been nicknamed "Little Augusta" for its flower beds that resemble Augusta’s magnolia-lined paths in the spring.
From holes 2 to 4, slopes appear quickly. The dogleg at the 13th can be tricky if you're not familiar with the course. The right angle demands a good tee shot, but it is not protected by bunkers, unlike the other holes. The greens are small, rolling, and sloped.
The practice area is of high quality, with 20 stations, 10 of which are covered, a putting green, a training bunker, and a pitching green. Built in 1960, the compact 9-hole La Guiche course, Par 29 of 1350 meters, surrounded by trees, is designed for all types of players. Coudray Golf also has a UGolf academy. Many free initiations are organized, and golf events take place from March to November in partnership with primary schools.
Designed by architect Henri Pottier, Grand Prix de Rome in 1944, the clubhouse has retained its sixties charm. It is a single-level, cubic structure housing the reception, changing rooms, and the restaurant, L'Épicure 19. The bar is open non-stop during the season. It also includes a seminar room, a nursery, and 2 bridge rooms. Here, one can reflect on the mysterious and passionate reasons for our golfing wanderings…
Message from the golf course:
The history of Coudray Golf has been written for half a century. The former property of the lords of Coudray and Count Jourdan, Marshal of the Empire, became a golf course in 1960, designed by architect Charles Kenneth. The Golf du Coudray Montceaux spans nearly 6 km in the Paris region, in Essonne (91). Located 30 minutes southeast of Paris, it is ideally served by the A6 motorway and close to airports (20 km from Orly and 80 km from Roissy). Its pleasant layout offers a technical and varied challenge, where power often gives way to intelligent play.
