The final preparations are underway to welcome spectators from 90 countries, 43% of whom are French. Everything has been done to guarantee them an experience that meets their expectations, such as the construction of the largest grandstand in 1 in the history of the Ryder Cup, which has no less than 6900 seats, or the installation of 18 giant screens spread over the entire site.

Ryder Cup Europe, organizer of the event, has also worked on a transport plan that guarantees the public the fastest possible journeys to and from the Golf National.

Edward Kitson, Director of Operations, RCE " We are excited to welcome spectators from all over the world for what promises to be a great tournament and one of the greatest adventures the Ryder Cup has to offer. To guarantee them the most comfortable journeys possible, we remind them that they must organize themselves in advance to use either the relay parks or public transport. Traffic around the Golf National will be very controlled, and will not allow free parking and pedestrian access to the golf course. "

Spectators must add to their journey times to and from the shuttle terminals, security checks, ticket checks, bag checks.

All transport information is available on www.rydercup.com/transportation (Or on en.rydercup.com/transportation)

Some key information:

The roads in the immediate vicinity of the Golf National will be closed to traffic and parking prohibition measures will be reinforced. If you come by car you must park without a park. You will not be able to park near the Golf National.

We strongly recommend that you buy a ticket for a park and ride from which free shuttles will take you to the Golf National. There are always places available at PR2 d'Orsay and PR4 at Louveciennes.

PR3 is now complete

You can buy your e-parking on tickets.rydercup.com. through your ticketing account. All you have to do is download it, print it, and highlight it on your windshield.

There is no pedestrian access to the golf course. The only entry points are located in the two shuttle terminals located to the east and west of the golf course, which are only accessible by shuttles taken either in one of the relay parks or at one of the two stations of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Massy Palaiseau.

If you prefer to come by public transport, we have set up a free shuttle service from the two stations of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and Massy Palaiseau.

If you did not purchase a Ryder Cup Transport Pass when they were on sale, you can purchase regular tickets at the station. More information on our website to buy your train tickets.

If you come by bike or on two wheels, dedicated and free parking spaces are provided at PR1 in Toussus-le-Noble (a few km from the Golf National). From there, you can take the free shuttles and enter the National Golf through the East Terminal.

If you are coming by taxi or if you are dropping off, a drop-off area is provided at PR1 in Toussus-le-Noble (RD938 / Route de Villiers le Bâcle) and at PR3 in Versailles (Allée des Marronniers).

You must add one hour to the estimated time for your journeys to and from the Terminals; security checks, tickets, bags, will take time when you arrive at the entrance.

As with any large event, traffic may be heavy around the Golf National, take this into account when calculating your travel time.
