I've been going to Hardelot Pines for 20 years and this is the worst condition I've seen it in. It's been closed for renovation and it seems it wasn't ready for reopening. Avoid going or 3 months and I'm sure it'll recover. It would be useful if Your Golf Travel had informed us of the state of the course as we would have chosen to play La Mer twice instead.

Played on 23/10. I can’t recall playing a nicer course in Europe?! Play off of the whites and you better have your ‘A’ game! Alternatively, if you’re a group of higher handicappers (you need to be 15 or below to play off of the whites) then play off of the yellow tees and experience a decent, but fairer test whilst taking in the beautiful scenery! Good practice range and nice clubhouse with your usual selection of toasted sandwiches and burgers.

We love this course! It's a parkland course with many challenging and memorable holes kept in superb condition. We played this year fairly early in the morning (0830 is September) with the dew still on the ground, a bit of morning mist still in the air and the sunlight filtering through the pines. A truly magical environment in which to play golf. The first is a great uphill hole to a tricky two tier green and the last is a magnificent par 4 finishing over a lake underneath the clubhouse terrace. Two really good golf holes with another 16 super holes in between. The bar is brilliant with a great view over the first and last holes and the food and service were first-class. If you're golfing in Northern France this is definitely a course not to be missed. (we can't comment on value for money because our rounds were part of a package but we just love it and we are sure it would rate a 'great' in terms of value)

I think that was the most enjoyable round of golf I ever played. The course is absolutely stunning. Millionaires golf. As with the Pines the greens and fairways were perfect. The weather was warm and slightly overcast. Sometimes it was hot but there was a refreshing breeze and the whole course travels through a pine-wood so there is intermittent shade. In fact calling it Les Dunes is misleading as there are more pines than at Les Pins! We started at midday and the couple in front of us invited us to go through but we were in no hurry. It was hilly. One hole late on, forgotten which, has you going up a steep hill. The eighteenth is spectacular. You have to hit your second shot across, or around, the large pond. We both went over it, my mate choosing the wrong club, managed to find the water. I, also choosing the wrong club, went much too far over it. But what a great golf course and what a fabulous time we had. It might be very different if its very windy and raining but, for us, it was perfect. YourGolfTravel organised the golf side of it so credit to them. We will certainly use them again.

Les Pins is a wonderful course. We played at 14h00. After taking Eurotunnel at 8h20 and going to our gite in Montreuil we had plenty of time to take the small roads to the golf course. We bought a bucket of balls and had 20 minutes at the practise ground then set off. It was an absolute pleasure. There was neither any rush nor were we held up. It was my first time there so was pleased that I played to my handicap. I stupidly forgot my 9 iron at a green but back at the clubhouse whilst we were having our drinks, the very helpful and pleasant woman at the desk came over and presented me with it. I am not a seasoned golfer so was delighted with the whole experience.

I had been looking forward to this course for a while after seeing Rory, Crossfield, Lockey and Dan play it on the VLOGs, and I was not disappointed at all in person. Played in amongst the pine trees, it is a spectacular setting, and a real treat for any handicapper. The course itself plays a bit like the Dukes at Woburn or Kings Lynn GC - tree lined fairways which favours accuracy off the tee, but if you are wayward it is very difficult to lose golf balls despite all those trees ... Some of the bunkers are huge and challenging to get out of, and the greens run very true but again have great undulation to them. The front 9 holes play tighter than the back 9 holes, with the signature hole being the risk reward par 4 15th. Great course and I will be looking to get back there asap.
