Designed by architects Hubert Chesneau and Robert von Hagge as a permanent home for the Open de France, Le Golf National features the championship Albatros course, which is considered one of the best in Europe. Extensive renovations have taken place on the Albatros course since it was chosen as the host venue for the Ryder Cup. Players can expect a course that offers plenty of risk/ reward situations, with undulating fairways and links-style bunkers, and can look forward to the challenging water hazards that surround the final four holes. The Albatros course masterfully combines a traditional links feel with the modern features of target golf. Golf National s second 18-hole course, the Aigle, offers a more relaxed experience a perfect warm-up course for the more challenging Albatros course. Oiselet, the 9 -hole third course of Golf National, is ideal for practice sessions. Golf Hôtel de Saint-Saëns The Golf Hôtel de Saint-Saëns is situated between Rouen and Dieppe, bordering the Eawy Forest the largest beechwood forest in France. Designed by architect Denis Robinson, the first five holes of the golf course opened in 1988.The course opened fully in 1989 and has hosted various European championships. The 71- par woodland golf course stretches over 6009 meters and is considered one of the most picturesque courses in Normandy, providing not only a charming setting but also a challenging course with plenty of variety for players, as it is composed of three distinct sections, each of which presents its own unique challenges. From hole 1 to hole 5, the Varenne River flows along the greens and fairways. The next section, up to hole ten, is characterized by a lovely beech and oak forest. Finally, on the other side of the forest, the course opens onto a plateau, with spectacular views of the Normandy countryside and the club house, which is housed in the charming 19th century manor, Le Vaudichon.

The club, which is over 100 years old, was founded in 1908 by Englishmen. The first president was Bernard Forbes, 8th Earl of Granard. Honorary members the likes of Lord Denman, future vice-governor of Australia and Lord Wodehouse, Baron of Kimberley. The original 13-hole course was designed by Julien Chantepie and Arnaud Massy (the only Frenchman to have won the Open). The club closed during WWII, but reopened in 1949, after the landmines had been cleared out. Didier Fruchet revised the layout in the 1990s and today the resort extends over 6,000 meters. The 18-hole course will test every facet of players games, particularly with the exciting sequence of holes at the back nine, between the 10th and the 14th, where the fairways run along the cliff edge. Golf de Deauville Saint-Gatien Golf Club The Golf de Deauville Saint-Gatien Golf Club is situated in the heart of the Pays d Auge, Normandy. The 27- hole golf course is set in idyllic natural surroundings and stretches across both the valley and the higher terrain of the plain, overlooking the Seine and the English Channel. The 18-hole Rouge-Blanc course combines Tom Simpson s 9-hole La Vallée course with Henry Cotton s 9-hole La Bergerie course. La Chapelle, the third 9-hole course, was designed in 1988 by architect Olivier Brizon. All the courses have an open feel with treelined, wide fairways and imposing greenside bunkers. Although there are no water hazards, golfers are sure to enjoy both the technical challenges of the courses as well as the beautiful natural surroundings and panoramic views of lakes, rivers and the English Channel beyond the dunes of Granville, which can be seen from the Omaha clifftops. The Normandy style clubhouse is atmospheric and charming and has ruins of an 18th century chapel running alongside it.
