GOLF PARC ROBERT HERSANT

What GOLF PARC ROBERT HERSANT does

GOLF PARC ROBERT HERSANT is a privately-held French golf resort and integrated leisure property located in La Chaussée-d'Ivry, Normandy, approximately one hour from Paris. The company operates an 18-hole American-style championship course, designed by founder Robert Hersant and in operation since 1998, set within a 15,000-tree landscaped park featuring rare species from Oregon, Japan, and Virginia. It is operated by a small team of approximately 14 employees under family ownership, with no external investment or parent company disclosed.

The resort is structured as a multi-vertical hospitality business spanning six revenue streams: golf green fees and annual subscriptions (Standard and Premium tiers), on-site Restaurant Le Séquoia (seasonal French cuisine, year-round service), 20-room three-star Hôtel Le Ginkgo, a pro shop for apparel and equipment, event hosting in a 1200 m² clubhouse with 200 m² reception hall (weddings, corporate seminars, automotive club gatherings), and golf instruction led by resident Head Pro Francis Thomas. Distribution is conducted through a proprietary online booking platform (reservations-golf.fr), phone reservations, on-site retail, and direct event sales. Marketing relies on an active website news blog, Facebook presence, an email newsletter, an annual tournament calendar (including the Trophée Hersant and external hosted events such as the Open de France de Footgolf 2015-2019), and presence at golf trade shows.

The business model combines transactional (green fees, restaurant, hotel, pro shop) and recurring (annual subscriptions, reciprocal play agreements with Golf du Vaudreuil and Golf Champ de Bataille) revenue. Customer segmentation is horizontal: individual golfers, private event hosts, corporate clients, and niche groups such as automotive and footgolf associations. Pricing is unit-based for visitors (€39-€66 green fees depending on season and age) and subscription-based for members, with bundled offers (e.g., Happy Monday golf + lunch at €86) used to lift average spend per visit.
