Paris golf holidays: Le Golf National's Ryder Cup fairways, iconic city sightseeing and top-quality resorts, all in one destination.
Le Golf National's Albatros Course is reason enough on its own to make the trip, a Ryder Cup venue that ranks among the toughest and most spectator friendly stadium courses anywhere in Europe. Its water strewn closing holes, generous grandstand style viewing areas and immaculate tournament conditioning give golfers the rare chance to play a course they've likely watched on television, and the layout still tests every part of the game exactly as it did the world's best players.
The area around the venue, in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines just southwest of the city, is well set up for a golf trip in its own right, with good hotels, restaurants and easy road access meaning there's little need to venture into central Paris at all. It's a destination built around the golf itself rather than sightseeing, making it an easy, low fuss trip for golfers who want a serious test without the extra logistics of a city break.
Our team's favourite here is, unsurprisingly, the Albatros Course itself, and we'd recommend basing a stay locally around the venue to make the most of practice time and a relaxed pre or post round routine, rather than splitting time with a trip into the capital.
