Our selected golf courses: Le Golf National (Ryder Cup2018) - Versailles - St. Germain - Les Yvelines


Le Golf National - Ryder Cup 2018

Golf National - Albatros
Architect: H. Chesneau & R. Von Hagge.
18 holes: 6515m: par 72.
The French Open course - a mixture of US target golf and Scottish links in a "stadium" setting.  True, the surrounding area is not the prettiest, but the course is a great test of golf and the closing holes are unforgettable.

 

Venue for the 2018 Ryder Cup

Golf National - Aigle  Architect: H. Chesneau & R. Von Hagge.  18 holes: 5936m: par 71.
A less exacting alternative to the Albatros. There is also a 9-hole "Academy" course.


St. Germain Golf Club

St. Germain   Architect. H.S. Colt.   18 holes: 6117m: par 72.
A traditional Harry Colt layout, i.e. intelligent fairway bunkering abounds and makes the courses more strategic than it might first appear. A parkland delight that you will want to play again and again (it was also President Mitterand's favourite) not least for the billiard table like Greens.


Les Yvelines
Architect: B. Baker.
18 + 9 holes: 6344m: par 72.
A woodland courses that has been well thought out to provide a variety of interesting holes over the gentle inclines in the deep forest. At its best (and cheapest!) in July and August - when the trees provide shade from the hot sun.
The original Château today forms the inviting clubhouse and restaurant.


Feucherolles
Architect: J-M. Poellot.
18 holes: 6358m: par 72.
A modern, pretty course laid out through gently rolling countryside. Front and back nine finish around the lake beside the clubhouse.


Golf Course

La Vaucouleurs - La Rivière
Architect: M. Gayon.
18 holes: 5630m: par 70.
La Vaucouleurs - Les Vallons
Architect: M. Gayon.
18 holes: 6298m: par 73.
Two staggeringly different courses.
“La Rivière” is a hilly parkland course with water hazards in play on some holes. “Les Vallons” is pure links complete with deep bunkers and tangling rough.
