History

The club, opened in 1909, sits just over a kilometer from the Château de Chantilly in the middle of a green forest, Forêt De Chantilly. It features two 18-hole courses, the Vineuil course and the Longères course. [1] Tom Simpson extended the original 9-hole Vineuil course to 18 in 1920 when he also built a second course, the Longères. It suffered badly in WWII and was abandoned after the war, until Donald Steel used 5 of the old holes combined with 13 new ones he designed to re-open it in the 1980s. [2]

Tournaments

Chantilly has hosted a wide array of national and international championships since it opened in 1909. [3]

It has hosted the Open de France, the oldest national open in continental Europe, eleven times between 1913 and 1990. [4]
