Bien que parcours officiel de la Ryder Cup 2018, il n'est pas pour autant réservé à la seule "élite" sportive.
Même si vous ne jouez pas depuis les marques noires, plutôt réservées aux joueurs de l'Alstom Open de France pour qui les 6520 mètres ne sont jamais la principale difficulté, vous devrez y jouer une grande variété de coups, et certainement utiliser tous les clubs de votre sac.
L'Albatros combine harmonieusement l'aspect de "links" et celui des "parcours-cible". Obstacles d'eau, vastes bunkers et fairways ondulés se lovent entre des collines sur lesquelles ondulent les fétuques des hauts roughs, la vraie difficulté du parcours, surtout lorsque le vent s'en mêle. Les trous sont francs et pièges, risques ou obstacles ne sont jamais cachés. Les vastes greens, apparemment peu mouvementés, sont excitants à lire pour quelques très longs putts que vous aurez peut être à jouer.
Attaquez pendant les 6 premiers trous, profitez des occasions de birdie jusqu'au 12 et défendez vous jusqu'au 18, vous verrez combien la fin est excitante… particulièrement en match-play…

Albatros course

Acknowledged as one of the finest championship courses in Europe, both by the professional and the amateur golfer who have measured their talents against the course. The Albatros has also been nominated as a ‘Ryder Cup’ venue. It is not kept for “Top World players”. The Albatros is a demanding course.
From the back tees the total length of over 7000 yards is not the main difficulty: It is the diversity of shots. The diversity of both “links course”, “target golf”, and “water hazards” and “bunkers” will create the demand for a full set of clubs.
The waving fescue grasses of the rough, on a windy day, invite the player ‘for a visit’. The large and carefully placed greens offer both the long as well as the exacting put over the exciting terrain.
The Albatros is a good course. Nothing is hidden from the player but the player must ‘play’ the course to achieve. Be aggressive on the first 6 holes; take the birdie chance on the 12th, and protect your score on the final holes when excitement can challenge the player – particularly in match play.
