Golf National

What could be a better showcase than one of Europe’s most prestigious golf sites to host the world’s most beautiful competition? With Golf National, the 120 players from the Olympic tournament will find a setting and a course to match their ambitions. Out of the two 18-hole courses, “L’Albatros” stands out as the most competitive and complex. It is used for major international competitions, including the Ryder Cup in 2018.

Owned by the French Golf Federation, Golf National was designed in 1991 as the home of the national technical centre for golf and the venue to host the French Open each year. Three years of work were needed to transform this previously flat 139-hectare site into a unique venue that includes two 18-hole courses and a 7-hole beginners course.

Golf National has a longstanding commitment to sustainable practices, looking to improve the site’s environmental management actions and preserve its heritage. To achieve this, the Golf National teams are working with the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy.

Capacity: 32,720 people, 2,720 seated and 30,000 standing.
