Novotel Saint-Quentin en Yvelines
Versailles
Novotel Saint-Quentin en Yvelines is the practical place to stay when Le Golf National is the main reason for visiting the Paris region. The four-star hotel faces the French Golf Federation’s flagship venue at Magny-les-Hameaux, with some rooms overlooking the courses. Paris Orly Airport is approximately 28km away by road, while Versailles is close enough for an easy non-golfing day. Central Paris can also be included, provided transfer times are built into the plan.
The hotel has 131 renovated rooms designed for straightforward comfort after travel or golf. Superior, Executive and suite options cater for couples, twins and small families, with selected categories adding a sofa bed, terrace or golf view. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and on-site parking support short stays, and the setting is much calmer than choosing a city-centre hotel and commuting to an early tee time. For groups, the compact arrangement keeps breakfast, bedrooms and the golf reception within one manageable base.
Food and drink are available through A l’Epicerie, Bavar and the hotel bar, with a terrace making the most of the open golf setting in suitable weather. Breakfast, room service and informal meals help groups work around different starting times. Current restaurant schedules should be confirmed before arrival, particularly for late Sunday dining or a large party.
Leisure facilities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, Sothys spa and fitness centre, together with outdoor tennis courts. The pool is seasonal, while spa treatments should be booked in advance. Ten meeting rooms make the property popular with corporate groups as well as golfers, so checking event dates can be useful when planning a quieter weekend.
Le Golf National provides 45 holes immediately beside the hotel. Its Albatros Course hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup and staged Olympic golf in 2024, while Aigle and the shorter Oiselet offer alternatives. The Albatros has been closed during major works and is officially scheduled to welcome players back in September 2026; anyone travelling around the reopening should confirm current access before booking flights.
This hotel is best for golfers who value location and efficiency over resort formality. It allows a group to play an internationally recognised venue, add Versailles or Paris, and avoid unnecessary morning transfers. Twin-room preferences and early breakfast needs can be built into the group arrangements from the outset. We can package the rooms with the appropriate Le Golf National course and verify renovation, tee-time and handicap requirements for the travel dates before the itinerary is confirmed.

About The Area
Versailles is a brilliant Kentucky golf holiday base for golfers who want rolling Bluegrass scenery, bourbon heritage and horse country all wrapped into one relaxed trip. Just outside Lexington, it gives groups a quieter small-town feel while still being close to some of the region’s best food, distilleries, racing culture and countryside.
For golf, our main recommendation is The Woodford Club, an 18-hole, par-71 championship course set across the rolling hills of the Bluegrass. It is open to all, which makes it a useful option for travelling golfers, and the setting gives the round that proper Kentucky feel, with horse farms, open land and peaceful views around you. It works really well as part of a wider Kentucky golf itinerary alongside Lexington and Georgetown.
Away from the course, Versailles is where the trip gets even better. Woodford Reserve Distillery is a must for bourbon lovers, with tours and tastings available by reservation, while Woodford County also gives you scenic drives, historic sites, vineyards, local parks and farm-to-table food. For groups who want the full Bluegrass experience, we would also suggest adding a horse farm tour nearby, especially if this is your first time in Kentucky.
Our tip: choose Versailles if your group wants a Kentucky golf break with countryside golf, bourbon stops, horse-country charm and easy access to Lexington without staying right in the city.
