About Lyon Golf Club
Lyon Golf Club is a previous host to the French Open and often rated among France’s best golf courses. Opened in 1919, it is also one of the most prestigious with two good courses and a renowned restaurant. 30 minutes to the east of Lyon, the courses are laid out over an enormous expanse of land and feature a terrific use of water and woodland. Les Sangliers is the “big course” and measures over 7200 yards off the Championship tees but you can knock off a thousand yards if you play from the yellows. Les Brocards is a little shorter with less water but just as good. Both courses are flat and quite American in design but there’s also a little heathland to overcome. One to remember.

Our take
A proper test inVillette d’Anthon. We know it inside out, and we will tell you straight who it suits.
- Serious golfersYou will relish it. It rewards position over power and punishes the lazy shot. The kind of course that sorts a group out.
- Higher handicapsTake a buggy, play the forward tees, and you will have a fine day. It asks questions, but it is a fair one.
- Societies & groupsA cracking matchplay course, with enough risk and reward to split the field and plenty to argue about over a drink after.
- WalkersA comfortable enough walk if you would rather leave the buggy in the shed.
