A hole-by-hole guide to Le Golf National
Who better to take us through a hole-by-hole guide to Le Golf National than European Tour player Matthieu Pavon, who grew up playing the course, and the Paris club’s academy coach Jean-Pierre Marzelle?
Hole 4
Chateaufort (Fortified Castle), Par 4, 445 yards
Pavon: A very hard hole, very long. It’s very important to find the fairway, the green is very big and uphill so don’t be afraid to pull one club longer and past the big hill because if you have a downhill chip it is really really bad.
Hole 5
Plein Gaz (Full Gas), Par 4, 370 yards
Pavon: A short dog-leg left-to-right. You don’t need to a hit a driver, a 2-iron is enough. You can go into it with a wedge so you can be pretty aggressive compared to other holes.
Hole 6
Mais ou Colza (Made from Oil), Par 4, 348 yards
Pavon: A short hole where you hit a 2-iron and the a wedge. It’s the easiest hole on the course.
