Lyon Golf Club, Rhône (69). (1921 - 1960s)
The club was founded in 1921.
The original nine-hole Lyon course was located at Mont-Louis, Saint-Genis Laval. The course was extended to eighteen-holes around 1930.
Due to the construction of a motorway the club moved to its present location at Vilette-Danton in the 1960s.
The above is from the "Les Golfs de France & Belgique", published circa 1929 and confirms that there is a 9 hole-course in existence with another 9-holes currently being constructed.
