Golf Club du Château de Chailly

Golf Club du Château de Chailly occupies grounds adjacent to a historic château in Chailly-sur-Armançon, located in the Burgundy region of eastern France. The course was designed by Gery Watine and Thierry Sprecher, both established figures in French golf architecture who have worked on numerous layouts across the country. The property sits in the rolling countryside characteristic of Burgundy, where the landscape transitions between agricultural land and wooded areas. The routing takes advantage of the natural terrain and mature trees that frame many holes. The design incorporates the estate character typical of château golf courses in France, where the layout integrates with the historic property and its surrounding parkland. Water features and strategic bunkering define several holes, while elevation changes provide variety in shot-making requirements throughout the round. The club operates within the context of the château property, which functions as a hotel and resort. This combination of golf and hospitality is common in the Burgundy region, where wine tourism and recreational amenities often overlap. The setting offers views of the surrounding Côte-d'Or countryside, and the course serves both resort guests and members who appreciate golf in a traditional French estate environment. The facility reflects the regional approach to golf course development, where historic properties have been adapted to include modern sporting amenities while maintaining their architectural heritage.
