Golf holidays in Flanders - Lille & ArrasGolf holidays in Arras and Lille are a surprising contrast to teh rest of France as the region of Flanders has a very different look and feel to the rest of the country. Buildings in the two main cities look more Flemish or Dutch with there elaborate curved headpieces. Both Arras and Lille have huge central squares ringed by bars, cafés and brasseries, perfect for strolling. 
In Arras the Hôtel de Ville (town hall) towers over the Place des Héros from where you can either go up the belfry for the great views of Flanders or down into the labyrinthine tunnels under the city, dating from the Middle Ages they are as convoluted as their history. Cuisine you will find quite sturdy with plenty of heavy dishes such as the Potjvleesch - pressed meats in a thick pastry crust and Flammekuche - sort of a pizza on bread, topped off with the local cheese Mariolles, which is both soft and strong.  |
Arras & Lille Golf CoursesThe golf courses around Lille and Arras are a nice blend of premier Members Clubs such as Bondues, Le Sart and La Brigode, commercial set-ups such as Arras and Dunkerque, plus a few smaller Golf Clubs too such as Thumeries-Moncheaux and Vert Parc. Getting to FlandersThe very easiest way to access both Lille and Arras from the UK is via the Eurotunnel or P&O ferries to Calais. From here it is under an hour to Arras and only slightly more to the centre of Lille. Driving is easy on the motorways to both towns.

Let the train take the strain?If you prefer to not to drive then relax on the Eurostar right into the centre of Lille from either London or Ashford.
