Most famously known for hosting Europe's historic win in 2018 on the Albatros course, Le Golf National has become an acclaimed golf club known for its phenomenal landscape and unrepeatable course layouts. The course is also set to host the anticipated 2024 Olympic Games.
Located in the picturesque suburbs of Versailles, just outside the French Capital, this world-class golf club is home to two exceptional courses. The famous Albatros Course, known as one of Europe’s finest layouts, and the underrated Aigle Course. When planning to play the course you have the option to stay onsite or in the city centre for a remarkable French golf holiday.
The club offers pristine practice facilities as expected and also offers private caddies and golf cart rentals are available to prepare you best before stepping up to that first tee box.
