DOMAINE DE LA BRIE

Located 30 miles from Paris and 10 miles from Disneyland, Crecy Golf Club features two entertaining 18-hole layouts, with the superb Vignoly Course being the first designed by Arnold Palmer in France.

Both courses occupy gently undulating parkland with the Montpichet course being the friendlier of the two for beginners and high handicappers, although it can still be stretched to over 6,600 yards, so it's no pushover even for low handicappers. Palmer's 7,000-yard Vignoly course is the star of the show though, featuring more hazards, including several strategically positioned lakes, and lots of imaginatively designed holes that will keep you on your toes right through the round.

The golf practice facilities are top drawer, too, with a 6-hole pitch and putt course, covered driving range, chipping and putting zone and a separate putting green.

The Hotel Domaine de la Brie is ideally set up for golfers, with 30 spacious, soundproofed and tastefully decorated guestrooms which can accommodate up to 6 people each. The overriding ambience of the rooms is one of country-style cosiness, with an emphasis on providing the best modern amenities. Guests can expect facilities such as satellite TV, Internet access, en-suite bathrooms, room service and direct dial telephones.

The accommodation will suit all types of travellers, from families to single golfers, and being just a short drive (8 miles) from Disneyland this hotel is not only a great place to base yourself for a golfing break in the area but also for a family break too.

The Hotel de la Brie provides a warm welcome after a long day playing golf with a swimming pool, tennis court and a superb restaurant on site, which is open for lunch and dinner. If the weather is good, you can sit on the terrace and enjoy the views over the whole course.

The hotel will also provide an array of golfing equipment in case you forget anything on your travels.
