The Course
Golf Domaine de la Grange Aux Ormes in Metz, France, is a 6436 meters par 70 course. Designed by Philippe Gourdon, it is placed on an undulating terrain that offers various challenges to each player. The golf course is outlined by century-old trees and water hazards yet provides views of the surrounding countryside and Val Messin.
The château in the background is the estate’s signature view. The fairways are relatively broad, but the dense rough can penalize any inconsistent tee shot.
