Château d'Augerville Overview | NCG Top 100s: European Golf Resorts

Golf By The Castle

Chateau d’Augerville has been around for more than 800 years, but it is only in the last three decades that there has been a golf course in the grounds. Olivier Dongradi was the designer of the course, which was opened at Chateau d’Augerville in 1995.

The course sits to the south and east of the Chateau, with tree-lined fairways and plenty of water hazards to collect errant shots. There are both lakes and the Essonne River, which winds its way through the estate and cuts across several holes. 

The 18th hole is the signature hole at Chateau d’Augerville. It is a long par-4 with one of those aforementioned lakes down the right side of the fairway, along with a couple of fairway bunkers. The approach sees golfers play over the Essonne River to the green, which sits in front of the Chateau itself.
