Our selected golf courses: Le Touquet - Hardelot - Belle Dune
A very traditional layout by old Tom Simpson across a lovely stretch of land that gently rises and falls through towering pines. The strategy on most holes is clear from the Tee, albeit with a couple of blind drives thrown in for good measure!
A more recent layout than “Les Pins”. Fairways rise and fall through the dunes. Recent work has eliminated some of the few blind shots.
The famous and demanding course in the wild lands between town and sea. The course starts in the flatter land but soon threads its way into the ever larger dunes as the round progresses. There is plenty of gorse and whin-bushes to contend with along with the ever-present sea breezes and the occasional glimpse of the Channel. Make sure you bring your A-game as La Mer is a stern test of golf under any conditions.
A more sheltered course that runs around the clubhouse. Often looked upon as the little sister to La Mer's big brother role, however it is a very respectable course in its own right and work continues to improve the course year after year. As the name suggests there are more trees on La Fôret, indeed many Greens are ringed with pines necessitating a high-ball approach.
Le Touquet - Le Manoir |
 |
A truly stunning course, many golfers favourite in the Pas-de-Calais area. On sandy seaside soil the convoluted fairways entwine the overpowering dunes. Several areas of the course are a nature reserve, unfortunately this has not stopped the building of gaudy holiday homes close to the (tiny) clubhouse; but it only affect a few holes. Great golf in a genuine links setting - once is not enough for most.
Wimereux Architect: Campbell & Hutchinson. 18 holes: 6150m: par 72.
A links course that dates from 1907 with many holes in full view of the Channel; those refreshing sea breezes are sure to add a little spice to your game on these holes. There is however, a sheltered section of the course too that runs more inland, with a few small trees here and there to provide a natural windbreak. Small wooden, whitewashed Clubhouse adds to the charm of Wimereux - an excellent place to stop on your way to or from the Channel ports.
