245 - Course Diaries: Golf De Fontainebleau
Manage episode 421906141 series 2652451
Sam and Tom recap their magical day spent south of Paris at the enchanting Fontainebleau.
The club is situated on a sprawling hunting estate which is home to one of the biggest palaces in all of France, and pre-dates Versailles by over 500 years. Originally founded in 1909 and laid out by Julian Chantepie, Tom Simpson reworked the course in 1920 and is responsible for much of what remains. Only a few modifications to the routing took place in the early '60s by Fred Hawtree, and the club have recently partnered with Clayton DeVries and Pont to further help develop the course and bring back some more of the Simpson magic.
It's a fascinating club, a sensational course, and has a clubhouse that could quite possibly be one of the best in golf!
