50 km E of centre of Paris.
From Paris follow the A4 motorway direction Reims/Metz/Nancy. Leave the motorway at exit 16 (Crécy-la-Chapelle / Coulommiers) and follow the D934 direction Crécy-la-Chapelle. Go past the town of Crécy-la-Chapelle, staying on the D934. After 2 km (SE of Crécy-la-Chapelle) take the first road on the right (direction Guerard). After 300m golf is on your left. [Note: If you are travelling on the A4 heading towards Paris, you will need to take exit 15, and make a loop around to Crecy via the N36, D406 and D934].
Located in what was originally called the Domaine de la Brie (now Domaine de Crécy), Crécy Golf Club acquired a wonderful new championship layout in 2009, courtesy of Arnold Palmer Design. The very pleasant but less challenging Montpichet course (now a nine-hole layout), was thoroughly eclipsed by its newer companion - the Vignoly course.
Laid out on gently undulating, but not overly tiring terrain, the Vignoly layout is a full-blooded championship course and one of the best modern designs built around Paris in recent times. Palmer's well-crafted layout is accompanied by plenty of rock- and reed-lined water hazards, threatening bunkering at every turn and slick run-off areas around several greens.
The picturesque setting, with views out onto partly wooded hills and the rural countryside of the Marne Valley, is complemented by the course's generally open, rolling character. Among many excellent holes, the uphill, short par-4 9th even evokes something of a links-style feel, with the flagstick proudly reaching skywards at the top of the hill.
Big-hitters will enjoy the good-width fairways of the front-nine, although things do tighten up on the slightly more compact back-nine, not least at the back-to-back short par-4 14th and 15th holes. The course certainly lays down an excellent challenge to established players, and with five sets of tees to choose from, can also be enjoyed by less experienced golfers.

Crécy Golf Club takes its name from the neighbouring market town of Crécy-la-Chapelle (with its famous 13th century gothic church), rather than from the famous Battle of Crécy.
The Battle of Crécy was fought in 1346 at Crécy-en-Ponthieu, about 200 km north of Paris and 80km south of Calais. The battle saw the 35,000 knights, men at arms and crossbowmen of Philip VI of France, defeated by the 15,000 knights, men at arms, longbowmen and spearmen of Edward III of England. As one of the most important battles of the Hundred Years' War, its was noted for the introduction of new weapons and tactics and many would say marked the beginning of the end of classic chivalry in battle.
