Boulots at Club du Lys-Chantilly

The Boulots course at Club du Lys-Chantilly sits in Lamorlaye, within the historic Picardie region north of Paris, an area known for its forests and gently rolling terrain. Designed by Robert Berthet, a French architect active in the mid-to-late twentieth century, the course reflects the continental European approach to golf design that emerged in France during the postwar decades when the game expanded beyond its traditional British strongholds.

Club du Lys-Chantilly operates multiple courses on its property, with Boulots serving as one of the layouts available to members and visitors. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this part of the Île-de-France, where modest elevation changes and mature woodland provide definition and variety. French courses from this era often incorporated the existing landscape rather than imposing dramatic earthworks, and Boulots follows this tradition with holes that move through and around established trees.

The club itself benefits from proximity to Chantilly, a town long associated with French aristocratic life, horse racing, and the famous Château de Chantilly. This regional context gives the club a certain historical resonance, though Boulots functions primarily as a parkland layout for regular play rather than as a championship venue. The course offers golfers a straightforward test within a pleasant wooded setting, typical of the golf experience found in the forests and estates surrounding the French capital.
