Golf in France
France is home to more than 700 golf clubs, with many of the best-known golf holiday regions found in Northern France, Paris, Bordeaux and Biarritz. Each area brings something slightly different, from easy-access short breaks close to Calais to elegant resort golf, championship courses and wine-country escapes.
Hardelot Les Dunes
Les Dunes is the younger and shorter of the two Hardelot courses. The course blends beautifully into its natural setting, with lakes, sand dunes and picturesque woodland shaping the round. Its reputation has been built on a clever modern design that offers a very enjoyable test of golf.
After your round, you can enjoy a warm welcome at the clubhouse, a relaxing drink at the Sports Bar or a meal at Le Restaurant des Dunes. Less than 2 kilometres from its sister course, Les Pins, Les Dunes is a must-play on your next golf holiday to Northern France.
Le Golf National – The Albatros
Le Golf National – The Albatros is one of the most famous championship golf courses in Europe, known for its fast, undulating greens, firm fairways and links-style bunkering. It brings together the feel of a traditional links course with the drama and strategy of a modern tournament venue.
Following major investment, the course has hosted both the Ryder Cup and Olympic golf, giving golfers the chance to play a venue with genuine world-class credentials. The Albatros asks you to use every club in the bag and punishes loose shots, but that is all part of the appeal. It is a superb course and a real highlight of any Paris golf holiday.
Le Touquet La Mer
La Mer is an absolute must-play for keen golfers visiting Northern France. Set among the dunes and overlooking the Channel, it has the feel of a traditional Scottish links course, with coastal winds, well-placed bunkers and firm, fast greens providing a proper test for experienced players.
Measuring 6,407 metres and set in the heart of the Pas-de-Calais region, this classic links-style course has real character. Its elevated tees and sea views add to the experience, making it one of the standout courses for a golf holiday in Le Touquet.
