The golf course of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, 4th General and 5th Course is a 27-hole private association golf course in the heart of the Saint Germain forest in Laye. Open since 1922, it includes a main course of 18 holes Par 72 of 6131 meters and a 9-hole Par 33 course of 1951 meters with vallonés greens. Both were designed by architect Harry Colt.

Formerly the 9-hole Hermitage Golf course in 1902, the Golf of Saint Germain in Laye is a course with artificial reliefs and raised greens. It is difficult for the player of very level and tolerant for the player bogey. Crossing the forest, the route is relatively flat and includes a large number of bunkers, 116 in total. The driver is not often used except at hole 12, a Par 4 over 400 meters or at 15, a Par 5 attainable in 2 strokes.

The practice is of high quality with 40 positions including 20 covered. Many international competitions are held. The golf course of Saint Germain in Laye is qualified by Martin Kaymer as one of the best golf courses in Europe. Nine French Opens have been held there since the inception of golf.

All for members, visitors can play weekdays from Tuesday to Friday with a reservation.

The english-style clubhouse is a beautiful wooden house that has seen the two courses built in Port Marly. In 1921, it was dismantled at great expense and moved to Saint Germain in Laye. The bar is non-stop in season with a snack service. The pro-shop, previously rustic, dating from 1931, has become a beautiful shop offering clothes and accessories. It has PMR access.

And after a game, don't forget the restaurant terrace that overlooks the green of hole 9, more than 1000 M2. The largest in France !!!
