We all have our favorites when it comes to Ryder Cup Courses but what makes them front runners? We explore and ask the question is Le Golf National the best Ryder Cup venue of all-time?
As was expected, the L'Albatros course proved to be an extraordinary host venue for the biennial match-up, a tournament that in recent years has rarely been given the world-class setting that it deserves.
For a start, the risk-and-reward nature of the final holes perfectly suited the match-play format of the event and guaranteed plenty of drama coming down the closing stretch. It was on these final four holes that over 50,000 spectators gathered, some 20 deep in places, stirred by the roars that echoed around the stadium-like bowl, and all able to enjoy the spectacle playing out in front of them. With mounding strategically placed throughout the course, fans were able to sit and enjoy unobstructed views of the action from throughout the course, creating a carnival-like atmosphere that can perhaps only be matched by the iconic 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale.
