Coupe Murat
The French International Amateur Championship, known as the Internationaux de France – Coupe Murat, is an annual amateur golf tournament held at Golf de Chantilly in Vineuil-Saint-Firmin, France. This championship, contested over 72 holes, was first held in 1945 under the name of the Coupe Challenge Loulou Murat. It was played in stroke play from the start, unusual at a time when most major national and international competitions were played in match play. Prince Murat, president of Chantilly Golf Club between 1909 and 1932, gave name to the trophy. Like the French International Ladies Amateur Championship, for a few years leading up to 2002 the event was contested every two years, alternating with the Internationaux de France Match Play (Trophée James Gordon Bennet). Over time, the Coupe Murat and the Internationaux de France merged to form one and the same tournament. The championship did not take place in 1948 and in 2020.

Golf De Chantilly
Golf de Chantilly is a 36-hole golf complex situated 45 km north of Paris in the town of Vineuil-Saint-Firmin, department of Oise, France. History The club, opened in 1909, sits just over a kilometer from the Château de Chantilly in the middle of a green forest, Forêt De Chantilly. It features two 18-hole courses, the Vineuil course and the Longères course. Tom Simpson extended the original 9-hole Vineuil course to 18 in 1920 when he also built a second course, the Longères. It suffered badly in WWII and was abandoned after the war, until Donald Steel used 5 of the old holes combined with 13 new ones he designed to re-open it in the 1980s. Tournaments Chantilly has hosted a wide array of national and international championships since it opened in 1909. It has hosted the Open de France, the oldest national open in continental Europe, eleven times between 1913 and 1990.
