Golf de Cély

Golf de Cély is a well-regarded parkland course tucked into the countryside of Seine-et-Marne, close to the village of Cély-en-Bière and within easy reach of the Fontainebleau forest, about an hour south-east of Paris. The course makes the most of its natural woodland setting, with holes routed through stands of oak and pine that give each hole a sense of isolation and visual charm. The layout is thoughtfully designed to test accuracy rather than length, with strategically placed hazards and undulating greens that reward consistent ball-striking. The peaceful rural atmosphere around Cély — at the gateway to Fontainebleau — makes it a natural complement to a visit to the famous château or a walk in the forest.
