Our selected golf courses: Flanders - Arras - Lille - Bondues

Bondues - Blanc
Architects: Trent Jones Snr. & Jnr.
18 holes: 6012m: Par 72.
Uniquely the only course which both Trent Jones father & son had a hand in. American style layout as you might imagime, with water hazards and sand traps in abundance!

 
 


Bondues - Jaune
Architect: F. Hawtree.
18 holes: 6260m: Par 73.
A classic Fred Hawtree design. Traditional layout through long established forest, not the longest but with astute bunkering and diminutive greens - great fun!
Lovely Château clubhouse.


Le Sart
Architect: A. MacBeth.
18 holes: 5724m: Par 71.
Traditional parkland course ringing the bright white 18th Century château and clubhouse. The ideal place to get your week off to a good start.

 

 

Arras
Architect: J-C. Cornillot.
18 holes: 6117m: Par 72.
A varied course wending in part along the valley of the river Scarpe then rising onto the hillside above. New 9-hole course too for a leisurely afternoon round.


Aa St. Omer
Architect: J.F. Van Heel.
18 + 9 Holes: 6400m: Par 72.
A physically demanding course (buggies are available and recommended) that regularly hosts events on the European Challenge Tour.

 

 

Dunkerque
Architect: R. Berthet.
18 holes: 5710m: Par 71.
Conveniently placed for a stop on the way to or from the ports to Arras and Lille. Quite tight in places - so have your irons handy!


Thumeries-Moncheaux
Architects: Boomer & Rossi.
18 holes: 5659m: Par 70.
A cunning design with some excellent parkland holes laid out, in parts, through tranquil woodland.

 

 

Vert Parc
Architect: P. Simon.
18 holes: 6242m: Par 73.
A recent design, fairly long with plenty of water hazards - partucularly on the back nine. Old Manor House that has now been converted into the Clubhouse (there are also four rooms).


Palingbeek
Architect: B. Baker (1992).
18 holes: 6159m: par 72.
Over the border into Belgium, Palingbeek hides in pastoral isolation.  Iindeed, the substantial Palingbeek Clubhouse seems a little incongruous amongst the farm buildings and livestock of Flanders' fields.
The course itself has made good use of the land's gentle slopes and although some holes run adjacently there are also plenty of quiet corners to contemplate the meaning of life or that last four footer...

 

La Brigode
Architect: B. Baker.
18 holes: 6010m: Par 72.
One of Flanders' great private Clubs - now open for play again midweek!
