Golf de Seraincourt hosts seminars, training days and team-building programs in a bright, recently renovated seminar room hired by the half day or the full day, with golf, tennis and billiards on site and a restaurant that can be booked privately. The club lies in Seraincourt, in the Vexin area of the Val-d'Oise, northwest of Paris, on the grounds of the former Prieuré du Gaillonnet.
Seminars and company events
The club describes its seminar room as bright and spacious, suited to presentations and to meetings in small groups. It comes with a video projector, a screen, a paperboard and Wi-Fi, and it is rented for a half day or a full day. The main draw for a company is the program around the meeting. A golf introduction or an improvement session can be added to the day, and the club also runs team-building sessions with coaching, using tennis and billiards as breaks between work blocks. A billiards tournament is one of the formats it suggests. For a sales team or a management committee, this makes a day that mixes work and outdoor activity without a long drive from Paris.
Rooms and capacities
The site names two spaces for groups. The seminar room is the working room; the club does not publish its capacity, so give your headcount and layout in the request. La Table du Général Friant, the club's restaurant, can be hired privately for seminars and for family occasions such as birthdays and first communions. It has a bar, a fireside corner and a terrace at the foot of the putting green, with a view toward the eighteenth hole.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms at the club. For residential seminars, it works with local gîtes and guest houses and offers packages that combine golf with a night and breakfast, with discounts that vary by season. Ask the reception how many rooms the partners can provide for your dates.
Catering
Menus cover the whole day, from breakfast to dinner, and can be adapted on request, so a seminar can run from a welcome coffee to an evening meal on site. The restaurant is open to everyone at lunchtime, every day of the year, from noon to 2:45 p.m., and the chef offers daily lunch specials alongside the regular menu. The lunch terrace is a good place for a break in fine weather.
History and setting
The Golf et Country-Club de Seraincourt was created in 1965 on the estate of the Prieuré du Gaillonnet. The course was designed by the British golf architect Frederick Hawtree. Before the golf club, the priory had notable residents. General Louis Friant, a Napoleonic officer who fought at the Pyramids, Austerlitz and Jena and was badly wounded at Waterloo, spent his last years here and is buried in the village cemetery. His name is carved on the Arc de Triomphe, and the restaurant is named after him. The playwright Maurice Donnay, a member of the Académie française, also stayed at the priory.
Getting there
The address is Le Gaillonnet, Chemin de Dalibray, 95450 Seraincourt. The club is reached by road from Paris and the western suburbs, through the countryside of the French Vexin, and a car or a coach is the practical way to bring a group. Contact the reception by phone or email for directions and to plan group arrival times.
