Southwest Greens Construction - About Us

Located on the outskirts of Paris on the west side in the charming community of Civry-le-Foret lies the 45 hole golf club La Vaucouleurs. Featuring two 18 hole championship golf courses of the highest quality, the golf club decided it wanted to diversify its amenity offering by creating a “new age concept” and building a 9 hole pitch and putt course.

Called Le 360, the 9 hole pitch and putt features 9 greens in a compact setting. Located in a picturesque plateau, the course features unique “links style” shaping and features, using a combination of manicured fairways and tall fescue type grasses. The tees and greens were built by Southwest Greens Construction, working closely with both the architect and shaping team to create the subtley challenging “golf track”.

Le 360 is the home of the French Open Pitch & Putt Championship, with both the French Federation (FPP) and the International Pitch & Putt Association (IPPA) extremely satisfied with Le 360 as a hosting venue for its Championship.

“We really think that, when properly installed and with the right installation system, synthetic turf systems are viable solutions for the golf course. In our plan to build 100 compact urban golf courses we have noticed that 30% of the courses are made with synthetic solutions. And for most of them it is a success. However, some of them have had issues with the installation and this is the reason why we insist on this point.”
Says Cristophe Muniesa, the Director General of the French Federation.
