The venue for this year’s Ryder Cup matches will be the Albatross course at Le Golf National, which normally plays host to the Open de France that surrounds the Chateau of Versailles, once home of King Louis XIV and one of three courses that make up Le Golf National.
In 1985, the French Golf Federation’s Executive Committee decided they wanted to give the Open de France a permanent home and came up with a plan to build the Le National Club, it took three years to construct and was open for play in 1990.
