What could be a better venue to host the world’s most beautiful competition than one of Europe’s most prestigious golf sites? 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; the course 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 beginner course.
Golf National has a longstanding commitment to sustainable practices, looking to improve the site’s environmental management actions and preserve its heritage. The Golf National teams are working with the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy to achieve these goals.
Legacy
After Paris 2024, Golf National will continue to host leading national and international golf competitions.
