Designed and created in 1987 by the renowned French architect Hubert Chesneau, located in Guyancourt, in the county of the Yvelines, Golf National was officially inaugurated in 1990. Apart from the championship course, the Albatros, Golf National offers another 18-hole course called the Aigle as well as a 9-hole training course - the Oiselet. In 2014, Le Golf National received the GEO certification in recognition of its standard in the areas of nature, water, energy, supply chain, pollution control, and community, and of its commitment to continual improvement.

Following the agreement signed in 2010, Golf National now makes use exclusively of Jacobsen products. During major competitions Ransomes Jacobsen France supplies additional machines and technical support on site.

Delighted to have prolonged this exclusive partnership with the FFG, Laurent Proupin, the general manager of Ransomes Jacobsen France declared: "We are very proud and honored to have gained again the confidence of the FFG in the maintenance of this emblematic course. As a branch of the manufacturer of turf maintenance products, specialising inthe golf sector, this is a real triumph for us."

Explaining the reasons of this choice, Mr Jean Lou Charon, the President of the FFG stated: "The Federation's choice for 2015 is the logical result of a tried and tested partnership over the past five years andthe synergy between Ransomes Jacobsen and Golf National. This will be a pivotal year as Golf National will undergo important work until July 2016. We are confident that the necessary technical support will be given to ensure optimum preparation for Open de France 2015."
