Le <strong>Golf</strong> National, Paris<br />

Lying just west/south west <strong>of</strong> Paris, Le <strong>Golf</strong> National<br />

was constructed to become the home <strong>of</strong> the Open de<br />

France which took place there for the first time in 1991.<br />

The purpose being clear, the architect <strong>of</strong> the Le <strong>Golf</strong><br />

National cours es Hubert Chesneau created the 18-hole<br />

Albatros course with an air <strong>of</strong> a stadium: a golf course<br />

able to receive great championships with ideal conditions<br />

for the players as well as the spectators and the<br />

media. Having moved around 2,2 million cubic meters <strong>of</strong><br />

landmass, the Albatros‘ main challenge is the diversity <strong>of</strong><br />

shots. The course has traits <strong>of</strong> a links course while demanding<br />

aggressive and bold on-target-playing due to the<br />

water hazards and bunkers.<br />

While the Albatros Course is revered for its superior<br />

condi tion and strategically demanding layout, the<br />

18-hole Aigle <strong>of</strong>fers a gratifying game for all levels <strong>of</strong><br />

golfers thanks to the wide fairways, few bunkers and<br />

very good greens on s<strong>of</strong>tly undulating grounds. For<br />

those still needing practice, Le <strong>Golf</strong> National has a third,<br />

9-hole Oiselet Course ideal for training.<br />

As the PGA gave its approval to hold the 2018<br />

Ryder Cup, <strong>Golf</strong> National is not only receiving<br />

great accolades, it is absolutely determined to<br />

make the event the greatest it has ever hosted<br />

on the Albatros Course.<br />

Situé au sud-ouest de Paris, à cinq minutes du Château de<br />

Vers ailles, le <strong>Golf</strong> National fût construit pour devenir le site<br />

permanent de l’Open de France, qui s’y tint pour la première<br />

fois en 1991. Hubert Chesneau, son concepteur, voulut un<br />

véritable stade de golf, pouvant accueillir des grandes compétitions<br />

en <strong>of</strong>frant simultanément, à l’élite amateur comme<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essionnelle, des conditions de jeu idéales et aux médias<br />

et spectateurs, un confort d’accueil excellent.<br />

L’albatros qui a nécessité l’emploi de plus de deux millions<br />

de mètres cubes de remblai, propose un parcours très sélectif,<br />

sollicitant une vaste palette de coups dans une ambiance<br />

aux accents tantôt écossais, souvent américains.<br />

Alors que ce parcours de championnat est apprécié pour<br />

son fabuleux tracé, le parcours de l’Aigle, son petit frère, <strong>of</strong>fre<br />

une belle expérience golfique qui convient aux joueurs de<br />

tous niveaux, avec ses fairways larges, bordés de roughs ras<br />

et faciles, ses greens fermes défendus par de discrets<br />

bunkers, les trous se succédant au rythme d’une topographie<br />

doucement vallonnée. Pour finir le site compte<br />

également un parcours école de 9 trous qui convient<br />

parfaitement aux entrainements, comme aux séances<br />

d’échauffement.<br />

Le <strong>Golf</strong> National qui est rentré dans la cour des<br />

grands avec l’obtention de la Ryder Cup 2018, a à<br />

cœur d’organiser sa plus belle édition et le plus<br />

bel évènement sportif jamais accueilli sur son site.<br />
