1 Night, 2 Rounds
Propelled into the spotlight by Europe’s awesome Ryder Cup victory in 2018, Le Golf National has cemented itself as a must-play European golf course. The club has two spectacular courses to play, the Albatros and the Aigle, the latter of which makes for a memorable round of golf in its own right.
However, after the world watched ‘Moliwood’ put on a historic performance upon its fairways, the Albatros has become the most popular course in France.
Thanks to its great location on the outskirts of Paris, just 6 miles from Versailles, Le Golf National is within easy reach of golfers traveling from the UK, choose from the Eurostar, a drive via the Eurotunnel or a flight into Orly or Charles-de-Gaulle Airports. Golfers are also spoilt for choice with accommodation, with a number of excellent hotels available, including the on-site Novotel Saint Quentin en Yvelines.
NOTE: Visitors to Le Golf National will be able to tee up on the redesigned Albatros course on 1st September 2026.

The Albatros is Le Golf National's centerpiece, and is the annual host to the French Open. Ranked 4th in France and 9th in continental Europe, Albatros was designed by Hubert Chesneau with Robert Von Hagge’s consultancy and has hints of Florida, a splash of Ireland and a lot of France. The stadium course has been built in accordance with the most modern construction principles and joined the list of courses to have staged a Ryder Cup in 2018.
This is the toughest golf course around Paris, where the enormous, undulating putting surfaces are sculpted around great swathes of water and sand. The distinctly rugged feel of Albatros reminds you that this is a proper golf course, not a walk-in-the-park resort track, and is there to test even the best.
The Albatros Course at Le Golf National is ranked as one of the best courses in France
What the pros say:
“It’s a very dramatic and therefore a great course for The Ryder Cup. Especially the last few holes where everything will be decided. The 13th, with the water, then a par five which you can reach in two, then the last few holes are really breathtaking. On 15 and 16 you have water, 17 being a long par four and 18 water again so a lot of things can happen on the closing holes. It’s going to be quite thrilling.” – Jose Maria Olazabal
“I think Le Golf National is a fantastic Ryder Cup venue for many reasons. Firstly, I can think of worse places in the world to stay in than Versailles, the Trianon Palace and the great hospitality and great food that we enjoy here. But on the golf course, the last four or five holes, in the natural amphitheatre that this golf course creates, I can only imagine how good the buzz will be coming down 15 and 16. They are about as good and dramatic a risk-reward par three and four you'll get. Then the 17th is a great par four and for matches that do come down the last, there's not going to be a better par four on The European Tour than the last at Le Golf National. I can really picture 40, 50, 60,000 people up on those slopes around that little cauldron of the last four holes, and I think the atmosphere will be amazing.” – Graeme McDowell

The resort's second course is Aigle, which is certainly a more forgiving proposition than the neighbouring French Open venue. The Aigle is shorter, at 6,489 yards, and is more sympathetically set up to welcome the average player. In the same manner as the Albatros, the course is rough around the edges, and has a degree of links in its make up, but does not have the demanding hazards that make Le Golf National's main attraction so challenging.

I could not see my ball due to the millions of daisies on every fairway & worse in the rough! I had to use an orange ball

Nice little addition but nothing compared to the Albatross. Great warm up course before the main event if you’re playing both!

Perfect course, amazing condition, steady pace of play. Staff were amazing, only to happy to help with anything. Great little bar for a beer after.

Imperative to keep your ball on the short grass, as you'll lose balls you see land and still not be able to find them. I loved the test, albeit it being a hard one.

Great course, great conditions, very hard and you must keep your ball in play as you’ll never find it in the rough even if you know exactly where your ball went in.

The weather didn’t help as it rained constantly, the rough is long weed filled and deep but the course is in excellent condition. The thing that ruined our round was the fact that we were promised buggies by your golf travels and upon arrival we where told that this isn’t possible and hasn’t been for weeks or won’t be for weeks to come regardless of the weather. We then had no choice given to us but play the albatross course with members of our group struggling to walk the course. The only choice was to play the eagle course on our second round because of the buggies and at no time offered a discount or even the buggies as a gesture.

As expected a difficult course, even for the better golfers, so no complaints there. However, the greens were very poor, and the general condition once off the fairways was also not great. In general, it was untidy and is clearly suffering for being prepared for the Olympics at the expense of the ordinary customer.

It takes around 3 hours to drive from Calais to Le Golf National and is just under 200 miles. Many golfers opt to break up the journey by playing other courses along the way in Normandy.
