Grand Lyon Chassieu at Golf Blue Green Grand Lyon Chassieu

Grand Lyon Chassieu is a Chris Pitman design located in Chassieu, a commune in the eastern suburbs of Lyon in the Rhône-Alpes region. The course serves the metropolitan Lyon area, one of France's largest urban centers, and forms part of the Blue Green network of golf facilities that operates courses across France. Pitman, a British architect who has worked on several European projects, designed the layout to fit the relatively flat terrain characteristic of this part of the Rhône valley.

The course occupies land typical of the Lyon periphery, where agricultural fields transition into suburban development. Water features and strategic bunkering provide definition on a site without significant natural elevation change. The routing incorporates tree-lined fairways and several holes where water comes into play, requiring golfers to manage risk on approach shots. As a parkland-style layout in a densely populated region, the course serves both recreational members and visiting golfers seeking accessible play near Lyon.

The facility offers standard amenities including practice areas and a clubhouse with dining services. Its location near major roadways makes it convenient for golfers traveling through the Rhône-Alpes or based in Lyon proper. The course represents a practical option for golf in a region where the sport competes with other recreational pursuits and where available land for course development has become increasingly limited.
