Tom MacAuley — Architect
« Le Parc consists of two 9-hole loops, both starting and finishing near the clubhouse. Each loop combines two Par 3s, two Par 5s and five Par 4s. »
The Par 3s, each oriented differently, range from 150 to 206 m, with the shortest played over a pond. The Par 5s measure between 415 and 465 m, with contrasting orientations.
The Par 4s, the true test of golf, offer great diversity of shape and orientation, ranging from doglegs to more classic holes, from 292 to 391 m.
The focus was on diversity: fairway orientation, and the size and shape of the greens. On six Par 4s, fairway bunkers have been strategically placed, while water plays a key role, notably on hole 11, bordered by a pond on the left.
