Le Golf National’s Albatros Course near Paris, site of the men’s and women’s golf competitions for the 2024 Olympics, opened in 1990 with a design by Hubert Chesneau and Robert von Hagge. The layout was renovated in 2015 by European Golf Design.
Owned by the French Golf Federation, the Albatros Course will be the home of the French Open for the 30th time in October. It also was the site of the 2018 Ryder Cup, in which the European team trounced the U.S. 17.5-10.5.
