Golf Courses to include on your Golf Holiday Package in Northern France

Northern France is a true golfer’s paradise, offering a blend of world-class resort golf and rugged, traditional links layouts that are just a short hop across the Channel. At the heart of the region lies Le Touquet Resort, a venue with serious European Tour pedigree that has famously played host to the French Open. Boasting 45 holes of championship golf, it is consistently ranked among the top 30 courses in Europe and remains a firm favorite for those seeking a high-end experience. Nearby, Golf D’Hardelot provides a stunning contrast with 36 holes carved through the towering pine trees of the Hardelot Forest. With its parkland and links combinations, it sits comfortably within Europe's top 25 and offers a serene yet challenging escape for any avid golfer.

For those who crave breathtaking natural beauty and more technical layouts, the Côte Picardie delivers in spades. Golf De Belle Dune is widely considered one of the finest links courses in France, winding through an idyllic landscape that earned it a spot in the European top 100. If you are looking for a stern test of your game, the Par 73 at Najeti Aa Saint-Omer Golf has been a fixture on the European Challenge Tour since 2000, offering sweeping views of the Regional Natural Park. Finally, no trip to the region is complete without tackling Golf De Wimereux. This spectacular seaside layout offers views across to the white cliffs of Dover, where devilish pot bunkers and strong Channel winds demand total precision from every tee.
