Set inland from the coast, Saint Omer provides the region with golfing variety as it is carved through the towering woodland of the region. The tight fairways and undulating terrain place an emphasis on quality ball striking from both the tee and the fairway in order to score well.
However, for those who enjoy a more social round of golf then Saint Omer is a great place for you too as its variety of tee boxes significantly alter the way in which the course plays making it accessible for all abilities.

Ranked inside the top 100 courses in Europe, Golf de Wimereux is also one of the oldest clubs in the region. Having been originally founded in 1901, the course suffered severe damage from the war and was refurbished by Campbell and Hutchinson.
The traditional seaside layout of the courses means it provides golfers with stunning views out towards the English Channel and on a clear day of the white cliffs of Dover. The course may only measure 6,700 yards from the tips but the traditional and tactically placed links pot bunkers mean a trip to sand is almost certainly going to cost you a shot.

Les Pins is easily one of the jewels in France’s golfing crown and is ranked firmly inside Europe's top 100 courses. Winding its way through a mystical pine forest the course is reminiscent of Sunningdale and Wentworth.
Despite not being particularly long, the tree lined nature of the course requires players to be accurate both off the tee and in their approach. Les Pins has played host to a number of highly regarded competitions and is a place for golfers of abilities to play a stunning championship course.

Golfers at Golf de Belle Dune are treated to a unique golfing experience with half of the course being protected by trees and the other half skirting the dramatic dunes of France’s northern coast.
Since its inception into the golfing world in 1992 many have compared the course to the great links setups of the UK which is arguably one of golf’s greatest compliments. The combination of incredible course design with the magnificent natural landscape makes for a must visit for any golfer in Northern France.
