Course Description

À 20 minutes à l'ouest de Paris, sur la commune de Chambourcy, le golf de Joyenval est un club privé haut de gamme unique en France.Créé en 1992 par Gaëtan Mourgue d'Algue, champion de France à de nombreuses reprises et fondateur du célèbre Trophée Lancôme, le golf doit ses deux parcours de 18 trous à Robert Trent Jones Sr, légendaire architecte américain et père de l'architecture golfique moderne.Situés sur un site historique classé, ancien domaine de chasse des rois de France, les deux tracés possèdent chacun leur identité. Le parcours de Marly répond aux exigences sportives du club en proposant un challenge réel et une grande diversité de jeu. Le parcours de Retz, bordé par le Rû de Buzot, permet aux golfeurs de tous niveaux d'évoluer dans des décors naturels exceptionnels changeants au fil des saisons.Au pied d'un club-house moderne pensé pour toute la famille avec de nombreux équipements de détente (notamment un jacuzzi, une piscine et une salle de sport), ces parcours différents et complémentaires résument à eux seuls la philosophie du golf de Joyenval : un club créé pour les amoureux du golf et réalisé en pleine harmonie avec la nature environnante. Pour maintenir la qualité des parcours tout au long de l'année, une vingtaine de jardiniers se chargent quotidiennement de leur entretien sous la direction du greenkeeper Laurent Cussac. Robert Trent Jones II, consultant pour le Club, aide quant à lui à perpétuer l'héritage de son père, qui avait vu en Joyenval « un grand golf, un site exceptionnel, un merveilleux morceau de terre à sculpter, et un passé ».Aujourd'hui dirigé par Nicolas Blactot, le golf de Joyenval offre aux joueurs des conditions privilégiées. Il ne compte ainsi qu'un nombre limité de membres afin de les accueillir de façon optimale, avec par exemple la possibilité de se lancer dans une partie à tout moment sans avoir à réserver un départ, un avantage extrêmement rare pour un golf situé si près de Paris.

What type of course is Marly and how should I play it?

Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
