"Thanks very much for sharing your experiences at Joyenval. It’s a special place. And I know my grandad would say, if he were still here, thank you for caring for it with such passion, and respect for his design." Trent Jones COO Robert Trent Jones II, LLC November 2017
"We have had excellent feedback regarding the quality of the Retz course. Bravo and thank you for your work.." PN, President, Golf de Joyenval, Oct 2017
"We all immensely enjoyed working with Steve and John (White) who were at all times cooperative and enthusiastic and worked extremely hard to make the event a success for all. They deserve much credit for the job that was done during the preparation for the event and the week itself and I hope that they and indeed all at the club enjoyed and felt justifiably proud of the stunning HD pictures of the course that were broadcast around the world." David Probyn, Senior Tournament Director, PGA European Tour (Vivendi Cup 2010).
« Relatively large greens with numerous slopes mowed very close where the roll is worthy of Augusta! ! » http://trophy.mercedes.fr/joyenval.html May 2017 Mercedes Trophee

“Yes, they’re green, but above all: they roll. A little tap with the putter and the ball is gone to escape the hoped for direction. And again, you will tell me, this was only the winter! I will answer that you are right, “summer is hell” to use the phrase of the greenkeeper who welcomed me with a touch of pride in his smile. With slopes hidden under a turf mowed with the finesse of the best golf courses, the greens at Joyenval make the reputation of this notable golf venue. The fairways are quite wide and approachable, the hazards are mostly manageable, I found. But the greens... it was a whole different story. In addition to the ranking of the most difficult golf courses, it would be good to establish these greens on golf courses in France and around the world.” http://sensationsgolf.fr/pour-un-meilleur-putting-au-golf-trouvez-les-bons-greens/
«Good evening back from the women's cup organized on the Marly course today, thank you very much for this welcome, this beautifully maintained course…” http://www.cgolf.fr/detail/golf-de-joyenval-parcours-marly-chambourcy-78240 - Avril 2016
“It is the last of the major private clubs in the Paris region. Robert Trent Jones Sr. has designed, on a classified historic site, steeped in history, two high-level courses that received the Vivendi Cup, the European Tour tournament, in 2010. By limiting the number of its Members to 550, Joyenval's private golf course is the only club in France to offer such a high level of service and quality.” https://www.golfstars.com/fr/golfs/golf-de-joyenval
"I was invited to play on the Retz. It's a beautiful course with widely varying greens (very large, multi-level, very rolling, frightfully difficult)." http://www.golflounge.com/course.php?id=478§ion=avis
"Two true Trent Jones Sr. courses that force you to play very carefully, especially on approach shots to the greens which are of a rare, fast, straightforward, but oh-so-difficult quality. Bunkers in perfect condition, fairways to make many dream, championship tees, what a marvel! I guess it comes at a cost, but it's reassuring to see that people can still offer these levels of excellence.” http://www.golflounge.com/course.php?id=478§ion=avis
"This course is simply magnificent... there is everything: contours, water, woods,... the variety is really very nice. The maintenance is exceptional: carpet-like fairways, modest regular rough and avoid the high rough at all costs." http://coachingolf.forumactif.com/t2382-golf-de-joyenval
