Designed very precisely on September 17, 1924 - with all due honor - at the end of a lunch offered at the Château de Pourtalès in Strasbourg by the Marquise de Loys-Chandieu to the Senator of Haut-Rhin Lazare Weiller, the Golf Club of Strasbourg was born ten years later, making it, in order of seniority on 32rd golf club created in France and without doubt by far the dean of the east.

20150507_80ansGolfStrasbourg_00Established on the land of the municipality of Illkirch Graffenstaden, which adjoins Strasbourg, the 9 original holes were more than enough for the little fifty or so pre-war practitioners; With its some twelve hundred members 80 years later, the Strasbourg Golf Club has expanded and now has three times 9 competition holes, 4 training holes and one of the most attractive driving ranges in France.

The Strasbourg Golf Club with its three teachers, whose parity requires a proette, wants to be, alongside its recreational and friendly golf aspect, a golf course with a sporting and competitive vocation.

Some titles of glory mark out its long history, since come from its ranks of champions and champions of France and Europe (amateurs). Its field has hosted French Championships and the Alps Tour (professionals). This year, one of the two French stages of the Ladies European Tour Access Series (Open Generali) will take place from June 11 to 13 at the GCS.

Friendly golfers from all walks of life, welcome.

Jean-Paul Wachsman
President of the Golf Club de Strasbourg
