Concerned about the future and guarantor of tradition, golf works its eco-responsibility by gradually changing the grasses requiring less water and installed 26 sheep between holes number 4 and 5 to naturally clear the course .

Golf built entirely on sandy ground and therefore playable immediately after heavy rains.

Traced by the Frenchman Julien CHANTEPIE, redesigned in 1920 by Tom SIMPSON, elongated and modified in 1963 by Fred HAWTREE, it is located in the middle of the forest of Fontainebleau, 800 meters from the city, on the former prosecutor's office of imperial hunts. Its fairways, relatively narrow, are lined with trees of various species, pines, but also birch, cherry, beech and hundred-year-old oaks. They are highly defended by 103 bunkers of fine sand, but also by thick thick sand, lilac, ferns and brooms, which make them charming and difficult and compose, depending on the seasons, a symphony of colors and smells.
