Golf de Morfontaine dates back to 1913, when the Duke of Guiche began developing a course on former polo grounds within the Vallière estate. Tom Simpson was later commissioned to redesign and expand the layout, bringing his characteristic natural style to the course.

Following the First World War, the club was formally established, and in 1927 Simpson completed a new 18-hole layout, now known as the Grand Parcours. The course quickly gained recognition, with notable figures involved in its early history, including James Braid and Arnaud Massy. Today, Morfontaine is widely regarded as one of the finest courses in France, reflecting Simpson’s influence in a mature woodland setting.
