Le Golf National has been a fixture on the DP World Tour for more than three decades.

The famous venue in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines first hosted the French Open in 1991 and has staged the tournament almost every year since. The championship moved to Médoc in 1999 and Lyon in 2001, while Golf de Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche took over hosting duties in 2025.

The French Open itself has an even longer history. First played in 1906, it is the oldest national open in Continental Europe and has formed part of the European Tour schedule since its inaugural season in 1972.

Its roll of honour reflects that history. Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Greg Norman, Bernhard Langer, Jose Maria Olazabal and Retief Goosen are among the great names to have lifted the trophy.

Le Golf National entered a new realm of prestige and coverage when it was named the host Ryder Cup course in 2018. It was a memorable week for Team Europe, which convincingly beat the United States.

When the Olympic Games went to Paris in 2024, the best men’s and women’s golfers in the world headed back to the famous track in Guyancourt to compete for the gold medal. Scottie Scheffler took the top honour in the men’s event, and Lydia Ko won gold in the women’s event.

Le Golf National is an extremely popular venue in Europe, and it is one of the most-visited in France. The website offers rates for both the Albatros and the Aigle courses.
