About

The Albatros Course at Le Golf National, located near Paris, is one of Europe's premier golfing venues. This 7,217 yard (6,600-meter) par-72 course is renowned for its challenging layout, featuring undulating fairways, numerous water hazards, and strategic bunkering. The stadium-style design creates an intense atmosphere, especially on the iconic par-4 18th hole, where a large water hazard makes for a thrilling finish. It was on this hole that Alex Noren sank his memorable 40-foot birdie putt during the 2018 Ryder Cup, securing his match and obtaining the winning point (sorry USA)
