The Insider’s Guide to golf in France & Belgium within two hours of Calais
One of the enduring pleasures of golfing in Northern France and Belgium is the quiet satisfaction of knowing you have chosen well. No airports, no time zones, no sense of compromise — just a short journey across the Channel and suddenly you are playing courses with real pedigree, staying in hotels with history and character, and spending your evenings in places that are genuinely interesting, authentic and enjoyable.
This is golf travel for people who know what they like. Courses designed by Colt and Simpson, clubs that value tradition, destinations which feel lived-in rather than staged, and hotels where evenings matter as much as tee times. Nothing here shouts; everything has substance and style.
Each of our five golfing destinations within two hours of Calais comes with its own personality and advantages. Enjoy the read. No-one knows golf in France and Belgium like we do so just give us a call and we’ll tailormake your ideal holiday.
Great holidays, so close to home!
Le Touquet & Hardelot
Coastal Golf of Exceptional Quality
There are plenty of golf “destinations” that claim to be close to home. This one actually is. You can leave your front door after breakfast, be on French fairways after a baguette and beer, and still have time for a pre-dinner walk on the sand with the soft wind in your face and the comforting sense that you’ve outsmarted the airport.
Le Touquet and Hardelot are the Côte d’Opale at its most addictive: pine forest and dunes, long pale beaches, and golf that feels designed, not manufactured. These courses have pedigree real architectural names, real tournament history and yet the whole thing still feels like a private tip you’re passing on to friends who’ll appreciate it.
Après-
golf
This isn’t “have a beer in the clubhouse and go to bed”. Le Touquet (pictured right) is a proper little resort town — Rue Saint-Jean and the streets around the market are made for an easy ritual: a shower, something crisp and cold, and then a slow drift between wine bars, seafood, and people-watching. Hardelot, by contrast, is quieter and greener more “forest villa weekend”, less “seaside buzz” but oh so refreshing.
Non-golfers also understand the appeal of a short-break golf trip to Le Touquet. Founded by the British over a century ago, Le Touquet is also known as Paris Beach as a lot of well-heeled Parisians have a weekend or summer house here. Beautiful villas line spacious and tree-lined avenues. There’s a superb tennis club, horse-riding, water sports, a lively market and more restaurants and bars than you thought possible. It’s smart and fun.
For over 40 years, my family and I have proudly sent serious golfers who want proper courses, civilised surroundings and the sense that the golf was part of a wider, grown up experience. Le Touquet and Hardelot provide all of that in abundance.
The famous and fun resort of Le Touquet
Le Touquet & Hardelot—the golf courses
Le Touquet — La Mer
• Architect: Harry Colt
• Par / White tees: Par 71, 6,965 yds
• Ranking: No.25 in Golf World – Europe Top 100 (2025)
La Mer is the course that makes people fall slightly quiet on the first tee
— because it feels like “real golf”, not resort golf. Colt laid it through the dunes with that understated genius he’s famous for: you can see the line, you can see the temptation, and you can also see where you’ll be punished if you get greedy.
It has also had the rare honour (and misfortune) of history: wartime damage meant holes were lost, and more recently the restoration work has been about bringing back the Colt character rather than modernising it. That’s why it feels so authentic the bunkering, the scale, the way the landscape is never “decorated”, just used. You can still see the railway tracks that the Germans used to carry armaments to the concrete bunkers but the course dwarves the tracks and provides a magnificent test of golf in stunning, natural surroundings. To play close to your Handicap here is a worthy feat.
Le Touquet — La Forêt
• Par / White tees: Par 72, 6,470 yds
La Forêt is the perfect partner to La Mer because it’s a different mood: more sheltered, more intimate, more “shape the ball between the trees”. It’s the course you play when the wind is up, or when you want a scoring day — but don’t mistake that for “easy”. The forest framing makes distance control and positioning matter, and it can be wonderfully exacting. La Foret starts off with a fairly random design as, over the years, it’s stolen holes from its two sister courses. However, this makes for a good rest of golf before you head into the forest where the design is more coherent and very pretty.
Hardelot — Les Pins
• Architect: Tom Simpson
• Par / White tees: Par 71, 6,674 yds
• Ranking: No.34 in Golf World – Europe Top 100 (2025)
This is the course that people talk about in slightly conspiratorial tones because it doesn’t shout, and yet it’s serious. Simpson’s design voice is all over it: the angles, the sly little green complexes, the feeling that you’re being invited
Le Touquet & Hardelot—the golf courses
to take on a heroic shot… while the course quietly sets a trap for anyone who does it without a plan.
Les Pins has five proper three-shotter par fives and starts off with two of them, so you’ll only score well on the long holes if your approaches are on song, the par fours are mostly not long but they are tricky with narrow or very long greens providing the teeth. And the par threes are like a Scottish terrier short, sometimes handsome, and with a surprising bite.
The fact Les Pins has hosted the European Tour Qualifying School tells you everything you need to know about its calibre. Les Pins is the course golfers talk about later — usually with a hint of admiration and definitely unfinished business.
Hardelot — Les Dunes
Par / White tees: Par 70, approx. 5,830 yds
If Les Pins is the “ranked classic”, Les Dunes is the “playable battle”. It’s the course you slot in when you want something more pacey. More expansive and visually dramatic, Les Dunes offers contrast and rhythm. It builds beau-
tifully through the round and suits confident play. A superb holiday course, it also makes a terrific “arrival round” or “final day” course thanks to the excellent clubhouse and relatively generous design. Very often considered the most beautiful golf course in Northern France.
Le Touquet & Hardelot—the golf courses & hotels
Belle Dune
• Architect: Jean-Manuel Rossi Par / White tees: Par 72, 6,651 yds
Rated by many clients as their favourite golf course in the region, Belle Dune is wonderful to look at and very subtle to play. Sometimes listed in Europe’s
Top 100, Belle Dune is the day where everyone takes too many photos. It has that genuine dune-golf atmosphere as nearly every hole is isolated and
all of them threaded through wild and coastal land. It’s an excellent test of golf where length, accuracy and your golfing savvy are all tested. I rarely score well here but I always enjoy the game. With a cute but simple clubhouse and location near a yesteryear seaside town, Belle Dune is a perfect complement to Touquet/Hardelot because it adds a different flavour — less “grand resort heritage”, more “pure coastal golf day out”.
was busy inventing itself as the smart seaside escape; and it has kept that slightly cinematic glamour ever since, recently refreshed in a way that preserves the soul rather than sanding it down into bland luxury.
This is a hotel for dressing up. The bar is soft but glamorous and the service level expert in fact, I’ve known several of the main staff for over three decades. The bedrooms are contemporary and stylish and the ambience is rather special. A jewel in the hotel’s crown is Le Pavillon Michelin-starred for over 20 years. The hotel brasserie provides simpler fare at fair prices.
Hotel Westminster makes your golf holiday more than just about the golf. It makes it about the entire experience. If you want spoiling, choose The Westminster (and try and arrive on a Sunday or holiday outside of peak season as our prices are pretty good).
Hôtel Barrière Le Westminster, Le Touquet
• Bedrooms: 104 rooms & suites
• Official star rating: 5-star
• Restaurant quality: Le Pavillon (Michelin-starred) + La Table du West
• Parking: private parking
Hotel Westminster is the most revered hotel of Northern France. The Westminster began life in the 1920s, an Art Deco statement when Le Touquet
Le Grand Hotel, Le
Touquet
• Bedrooms: 60 rooms
• Official star rating: 4-star
• Restaurant quality: modern on-site restaurant + terrace
• Parking: private parking available (free)
Le Touquet & Hardelot—the hotels
Within walking distance of Etaples with its restaurants and bars and a fiveminute Uber ride from Le Touquet resort (or you can use the hotel bicycles). La Petite Foret boasts the four-star Tribe Hotel and Mercure, and the threestar Ibis Styles. Bedrooms are smallish but very comfortable and some come with balcony. The three hotels share the bar, stylish restaurant, terrace, indoor pool and spa. It’s a smart set-up and our prices are super keen.
Le Grand is a 15-minute walk from the centre of the resort but is close to the marina. The facilities are good with spa, pool, big terrace, and that slightly sociable “let’s have a drink and see where dinner lands” feel. You’re close enough to town life when you want it, but benefit from the edge-ofresort hotel prices. About 20 years old, I felt that the hotel had come of age and found its identity on my last visit there in summer 2025.
Domaine de la Petite Foret, Le Touquet
• Bedrooms: 170 rooms plus villas
• Official star rating: 4-star and 3-star
• Restaurant quality: modern on-site restaurant + terrace

• Bedrooms: 41 rooms

• Restaurant quality: smart resort
dining (country-house style) • Parking: on-site resort parking (free)
This is one of those rare golf hotels that feels like it has been lived in an Anglo-Norman house tucked into the trees, Le Manoir feels like home whatever the weather and reason. The bar resembles a smart English pub and there’s even a snooker room. The lounge is luminous and the restaurant
Le Touquet & Hardelot—the hotels
almost as famous as the golf courses.
Hôtel Le Bristol, Le Touquet
• Bedrooms: 47 rooms
The bedrooms range from small single bedrooms to generous Junior Suites. Prices at Le Manoir range from season to season—it’s fantastic value for most of the year but then jumps in during the very popular months. My advice use Le Manoir as the perfect excuse for an extra break between October and April.
Red Fox, Le Touquet
• Bedrooms: 71 rooms
• Official star rating: 3-star
• Parking: adjacent private parking available
This is the cheeky value play and sometimes that’s exactly what a golf vacation needs. If you’re the type who sees the hotel as a base (sleep well, get out quickly, spend money on golf and food), it makes sense. Located at the crossroads of the Le Touquet resort, you couldn’t get closer to the myriad of bars, restaurants and shops. A warm welcome and decent bedrooms await.
• Official star rating: 3-star
• Parking: private parking available
Le Bristol is for people who want to be in the middle of Le Touquet life step outside and you’re on the market square and instantly in cafés, shops, and the evening drift. And the beach is just 150 yards to the right. The hotel provides a welcoming base for a lovely holiday rhythm: golf, shower, out on foot, back late.
Bedrooms are smallish but comfortable, the breakfast is good and The Ascot bar and terrace are great places to start the evening.
Hôtel du Parc, Hardelot
• Bedrooms: 81 rooms
• Official star rating: 3-star
• Restaurant quality: brasserie-style
• Parking: private parking available (free)
Hardelot’s great trick is that it’s peaceful without being remote. Hôtel du Parc is part of that: it’s green, calm, practical and it works brilliantly when your
priority is maximising golf and keeping the evenings easy. The bedrooms are large and most have balcony or terrace. There’s an outdoor pool, billiards, bar and restaurant and you’re next door to the tennis club.
Les Pins Golf Club is a five-minute walk away and Les Dunes is a twominute drive. The small-but-perfectly-formed seaside resort of Hardelot—famous for its huge beaches as much as for the two golf courses is just over a mile away. Both Boulogne-sur-Mer and Le Touquet are 10 miles away so Hotel du Parc, and its proximity to the two Hardelot golf courses, is an ideal choice if you have a designated Driver for the evenings or are content to take our top-value dinner, bed, breakfast and golf package at the hotel
Hotel Hermitage, Montreuil-sur-Mer
• Bedrooms: 57 rooms Official star rating: 4-star
• Parking: private parking or off-street parking available
Within an historic building, Hotel Hermitage provides quite spacious,
Le Touquet & Hardelot—the hotels
practical bedrooms and a welcoming ambience in a perfect location for the sights of the pretty medieval town with its bars, restaurants and independent shops. The hotel has a bar, excellent restaurant (privately owned and highly rated). A popular choice if you prefer your apres-golf to be more food than party oriented.
Château de Montreuil, Montreuil-sur-Mer
• Bedrooms: 18 rooms • Official star rating: 4-star
• Restaurant quality: Bistro • Parking: private parking available
Overlooking the ramparts of the prettiest little town in Northern France, the “chateau” is an exquisite holiday getaways is long-renowned for its elegant comforts and gourmet dining. The style of dining and owners might have changed but the bistro menu is Michelin-rated and, I think, captures today’s need for authentic, convivial dining at good value. The bedrooms, gardens and overall presentation and service are delightful. A hidden gem.

Charm, Value and authentic Northern France
This is Northern France without polish — and all the better for it. Golf here is part of everyday life, courses are welcoming rather than grand, and evenings are about simple pleasures done well. Prices are gentler, atmospheres warm, and the sense of discovery stronger. This is the part of Northern France where the price-to-pleasure ratio becomes extremely attractive and the atmosphere is less “resort” and more “real place”. Hotels here favour warmth and location over formality: the Hôtel de Wimereux on the promenade, the practical Golf Hotel de Saint Omer beside the course, and the city-based Ibis Cathédrale Boulogne, perfect for evenings among locals.
I’ve been going to Wimereux since I first picked up a golf club (I was still in shorts) and it’s always had a good reputation for food. I can think of four in town, a couple in Boulogne and two along the coastline going towards Calais that would be a worthy addition to any itinerary. And the other plus: the value! Saint-Omer is rich in Flemish heritage. Its origins date back to the 7th-Century, and landmarks like the impressive cathedral and canal-lined streets reflect centuries of religious and trading importance. Saint-Omer has a relaxed, authentic feel, with excellent local restaurants, bakeries and cafés showcasing regional specialties, from seafood to traditional Flemish dishes. It’s a town to be explored and enjoyed,
Wimereux & Saint Omer—the golf courses
WIMEREUX
• Par: 72 Length: 6,726 yards
Wimereux is one of those courses golfers speak about with affection rather than reverence — and that is exactly the point. Laid out by the sea by Willie Park Jr., it has a proper old fashioned feel, with tilted fairways and greens that demand imagination. The outward nine runs high above the Channel, often exposed to wind and weather, while the inward holes drop closer to town and generally a little kinder. It is never predictable and rarely forgiving, but always engaging. What makes Wimereux special is that it feels unchanged by time: you play it knowing golfers have been enjoying and suffering on the same holes for generations. Great links fun.
AA SAINT-OMER
• Par: 71 Length: 6,879 yards
Saint Omer demonstrates how enjoyable a proper, hilly layout can be. The undulating terrain keeps every hole interesting, with plenty of sloping lies that reward good course management. It’s a course that makes you think without ever feeling unfair. Host to the Haut-de-France Open De Golf Challenge Tour event, the front nine eases you in with wider landing areas and sweeping views across the valley, especially from the elevated tees on holes
3 and 5. The back nine feels more dramatic and demanding, with tighter drives, steeper elevation changes and superb long-range views, particularly around holes 14 to 16. A characterful course to play with all the convenience of the clubhouse and hotel just a pitching wedge away from each other.
Wimereux & Saint Omer —the golf courses & hotels
DUNKIRK GRAND LITTORAL
• Par: 72 Length: 6,600 yards
Dunkirk is not a “headline” course — it’s a clever addition that gives your itinerary flavour. Its defining character is that the design is geometric in parts. Not classic golf but it’s different from the others and very playable.
HÔTEL DE WIMEREUX
• Bedrooms: 30
• Official rating: 3-star
• Restaurant: Brasserie
• Parking: Private parking available
Hôtel de Wimereux feels like a proper seaside hotel should. Slightly faded in the best possible way, it sits in the heart of the town and just an eight-iron from the beachside promenade.
Rooms are comfortable and unfussy and the bar and restaurant have been renowned for their classic offerings for decades. It suits golfers who like to finish their round, walk the sea front, and feel immediately part of this charming French seaside town.
GOLF HÔTEL DE SAINT-OMER
• Bedrooms: 54
• Official rating: 3-tar
• Restaurant: Brasserie
Wimereux & Saint Omer— hotels and Example Itineraries
• Parking: On-site parking (free)
After a recent visit to Hôtel du Golf, St Omer, situated on the Aa Saint-Omer golf course, we’re already plotting a return to the region. After just a 35minute drive from the Le Shuttle Calais terminal, you can be in your room looking straight onto the fairways. The bedrooms are functional with a kingsize bed. The bar area was relaxed and friendly and the “faux cow hide” bar a fun design touch. The décor feels fresh throughout the hotel and rooms. The new spa area, although small, was suitable for a boutique golf hotel and it was a very pleasant reset after 18 holes.
IBIS STYLES CATHÉDRALE
• Bedrooms: 50
• Official rating: 3-star
– BOULOGNE-SUR-MER
• Parking: Private parking available
This is the economical choice for golfers who want to stay somewhere lively and authentic. Located within Boulogne’s historic upper town, it places you steps away from restaurants, wine bars and one of the most atmospheric old
quarters in Northern France.
The hotel itself is simple and well run, but the real appeal is what lies outside the door: evening strolls along the ramparts, casual dinners and the sense of staying somewhere that feels entirely local. It is excellent value and works particularly well for shorter breaks.

Historic Cities, Powerful Landscapes and Golf with Perspective
This can be an intellectually and emotionally resonant holiday. Arras, Lille and Ypres are places where golf naturally takes its place alongside history, architecture and culture, rather than competing with them. A round here is often followed by a visit that stays with you for a very long time. The rhythm of a stay in this region is different. Mornings are for golf on peaceful courses set among gentle countryside; afternoons and evenings belong to grand squares, museums, cafés and conversations that inevitably drift towards history. It suits golfers who enjoy reflection as much as competition and who appreciate destinations that add depth to a trip rather than distraction.
The landscape beyond the fairways
The battlefields of the First World War are spread across this region, woven into farmland and woodland. Ypres sits at the heart of this story. A visit to the Menin Gate, particularly at dusk during the Last Post ceremony, is profoundly moving understated, dignified and deeply human. Nearby cemeteries such as Tyne Cot and Polygon Wood add further context.
Arras offers a different perspective. Its magnificent Grand Place and Place des Héros, rebuilt brick-for-brick after the war, are architectural masterpieces, while the underground tunnels — used by soldiers to move unseen beneath the city
— provide a fascinating and sobering insight into wartime life. The Grand Place and Place des Héros are full of restaurants and bars. Don’t forget to visit the historic cathedral and take the lift up to the Belfry, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and enjoy the superb views across the city.
Arras, Lille & Ypres
Lille, meanwhile, brings energy and modernity. It is a city that surprises first-time visitors: youthful, confident and blessed with one of the best food scenes in northern Europe. Flemish influences show everywhere, from the architecture to the menus, and evenings here can be as lively or as refined as you choose. Some of the museums are the best in France outside of Paris.
Bondues clubhouse: 36 holes of prestigious golf
Arras, Lille & Ypres —the golf courses
PALINGBEEK
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,400 yards
Close to Ypres, Palingbeek is engaging and well thought-out, with elevation changes and strong par-4s. Opened in 1991 and what was part of the WW1 Front Line, few courses make you pause between shots in quite the same way.
Scenic, wide(ish!) fairways and several water hazards make Palingbeek a pleasant golf course where the better player should put a decent score together.
KOKSIJDE
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,500 yards
• Koksijde sits close to the coast and offers an expansive, open feel and plays like an inland-links. Wind plays a constant role, and the course asks for control and adaptability rather than brute strength. The only non
“Royal” and golf course less than 80 years old in the Belgian Top 10, Koksijde is the young and deserving upstart and provides an excellent contrast to the inland parkland courses of the region.
Koksidje is already a Belgian Top 10 golf course
BONDUES
• Architect: Fred Hawtree & Trent Jones Senior
• Par: 73 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,600 yards
Lille is France’s financial hub outside of Paris and the main city of Northern France. As such, the locals demand great food, entertainment and sports facilities. Bondues Golf Club ticks the box. There are two golf courses both designed by famous architects and providing different looks and feel. Both are rated among France’s Top 75.
Most members prefer the Hawtree which is slightly longer and more parkland.
The Trent Jones course has more hazards—as was his want!
With a gorgeous clubhouse, tree-lined fairways, immaculate presentation and a strong members’ culture, Bondues is a fine golf club. Our clients are welcome midweek and on weekend afternoons.
Arras, Lille & Ypres —the golf courses and hotels
BRIGODE
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,600 yards
Located on historic ground and an upmarket residential district, Brigode is a prestigious and private golf club with a strong reputation in French golfing circles. With lots of doglegs, strategy is vital. Overall, Brigode is an understated and easy-walking parkland course that sits comfortably within the Northern France golfing scene.
MÉRIGNIES
• Architect: Modern championship design
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,700 yards
Mérignies brings scale and ambition to the region’s golf offering. 27 holes, finely-designed fairways, large greens and water features give it a contemporary feel. I like the shaping of the golf course and it’s always in good shape.
A project very close to Michel Gayon’s heart (he's the best and most prolific French golf architect), each of the three loops of nine has a very different challenge and I hear that a fourth loop will soon be built. Now 15 years old, Mérignies is gaining a slick reputation.
ARRAS
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,700 yards
Set in the beautiful Scarpe Valley just outside the city of Arras, there are 27 holes split between the 18-hole “La Vallée” championship course (par 72) and the 9-hole “Les Aubépines” layout. La Vallée stands out with its very enjoyable technical design, gently rolling terrain, water features and tree-lined fairways. It is a wholesome test even for good players, which is one of the reasons the club hosted the Ladies’ Open de France for several years.
The setting is peaceful and scenic and the course is riddled with character and the recent upgrade work is paying off.
NOVOTEL LEPER CENTRUM – YPRES
• Bedrooms: 120
• Official rating: 4-star
• Restaurant: Contemporary international dining
• Parking: On-site parking (free)
Modern, well-run and centrally located, it allows guests to explore the town on foot, including evening visits to the Menin Gate. With a restaurant and bar popular with the locals and a stream-side terrace, the Novotel is far more
Arras, Lille & Ypres —the golf courses

• Restaurant: Breakfast only; excellent dining nearby
• Parking: Adjacent private parking
HOTEL UNIVERS – ARRAS
• Bedrooms: 38
• Official rating: 3-star
• Restaurant: Good regional dining
• Parking: Private parking
Hotel Univers places you just a few yards from the magnificent town square. The hotel building dates back over 400 years and was a monastery so the interior is full of lovely nooks and crannies. Bedrooms are traditional and comfortable, and evenings begin the moment you step outside, surrounded by cafés, bars and beautifully lit architecture. A smartly presented hotel, perfectly located for apres-golf and with six courses within 15-50 minutes.
LE FAIRWAY HOTEL & SPA GOLF D’ARRAS –ARRAS
The family-owned and run (mother and daughter) Hotel Albion is small, personal and full of character. The bedrooms are modest but it suits golfers who prefer a warm welcome over scale and enjoy staying somewhere that feels quietly local. Its town centre location makes evening exploration effortless, and the historic façade suits Ypres to the tee. Keenly priced and deservedly popular, plan ahead and book early.
• Bedrooms: 58
• Official rating: 4-star
• Restaurant: Casual golf-hotel dining
• Parking: On-site parking
Looking super after a full refurbishment, this is a wonderfully relaxed fourstar hotel that strikes exactly the right balance for its setting and the history of the region. The design is stylish and thoughtfully executed, blending comfort and contemporary flair without a hint of pretentiousness.
Although the hotel and golf course are under separate ownership, they enjoy a strong and complementary relationship. The real standout is the restaurant, serving fabulous food full of flavours from the local area. A long lunch on the terrace, surrounded by greenery and with an elevated view directly over the golf course, is a particular highlight, With the spa, peaceful surroundings, stylish rooms and bathrooms all with attentive service completing the picture.

HOTEL CARLTON—LILLE
Bedrooms: 60
Official rating: 4-star
Parking: Valet
Hotel Carlton has been famous (for hospitality) and infamous (for political scandals) for over 100 years. The outstanding location on Lille’s vibrant and cosmopolitan main square and classic architecture makes the Carlton feel every inch a grand city hotel. High ceilings, classic furnishings and a polished atmosphere make it a fitting base for discerning golfers even before considering the two hotel bars which are popular with the locals. Lille has an astonishing 17 restaurants listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, four of which have Michelin stars. Combine the gourmet feasts with the
HOTEL CLARENCE – LILLE
• Bedrooms: 19
• Official rating: 5-star boutique
• Restaurant: Michelin-starred dining on site
• Parking: Valet parking
Hotel Clarence is quietly exceptional. Housed in a former private mansion, it feels intimate, luxurious and unmistakably refined. The restaurant is Michelin-starred and one of Lille’s best, there’s a beautiful terrace and garden and you’re just a short stroll from old Lille, the Cathedral and Citadel. The bedrooms are stylish and surprisingly contemporary as well as being quite spacious for an 18th-century building.
Ypres, Arras & Lille—Example Itineraries
Staying at the Clarence turns a golf trip into something closer to a cultural escape. It is ideal for clients who appreciate an elegant boutique hotel with the added attraction of there being a couple of simpler and excellent brasseries just round the corner. A hidden gem.

Culture, Confidence and Apres-Golf Galore
Bruges is known as “The Venice of the North” and is undoubtedly beautiful. But that’s only the beginning. What makes Bruges work so well for golfers is that it combines serious golfing and historic culture with an effortless social life. You can play a proper round in the morning, be back in the city by mid-afternoon, and then drift seamlessly into an evening that feels celebratory.
Bruges is compact, walkable and endlessly atmospheric. Canals replace taxis, cafés replace clubhouses, and dinner rarely feels rushed. It is an ideal base — not just a pretty one.
Après-golf in Bruges can involve a visit to the countless museums, choco-
late shops and micro-breweries. It’s sociable, relaxed and grown-up. There is energy without chaos, and variety without confusion. Groups naturally split and reform, which makes Bruges particularly good for mixed parties where not everyone wants the same evening every night.
Just 75 minutes from Calais and with the golf courses of Dunkirk, Koksidje and Royal Ostend en-route, it’s really easy to get to and everything is so accessible.
Bruges-golf courses
ROYAL ZOUTE GOLF CLUB
• Architect: Harry Colt
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,650 yards
• Rankings: Regularly ranked among Europe’s Top 30 courses
• Royal Zoute is the anchor course of golf in and around Bruges and one of the great traditional clubs of northern Europe. Located in Knokke, it has long been associated with Belgian sporting life at its most polished — discreet, confident and quietly exclusive. Colt’s influence is evident in the routing and green complexes and the recent retro-design has brought much of the original design back to the fore. Once a regular host to the Belgian Open, Royal Zoute is just a mile inland from the trendy resort of Knokke-Heist. Wind is often a factor but I consider the course to be more heathland than links. And as well as the Championship course, there’s the Par 64 Executive course which makes 36 holes at Royal Zoute—with a fantastic break in the lovely clubhouse at lunchtime one of the great European golf days.
ROYAL LATEM GOLF CLUB
• Architect: Tom Simpson
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,400 yards
• Rankings: Frequently listed among Belgium’s Top 5 courses
Royal Latem is one of Belgium’s most revered inland courses. 40 minutes
south-east of Bruges, Simpson’s genius can be felt throughout: strategic bunkering, subtle use of natural movement and greens that demand precision. It is a course that grows in stature as the round progresses, and one that appeals strongly to accomplished golfers who enjoy being asked to think. Royal Latem retains a traditional approach to the game and the clubhouse is probably my favourite in Belgium.
DAMME GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,600 yards
Damme offers a modern contrast to the classic golf courses of the region. Set just outside Bruges, it is open and generous from some of the tees and visually appealing, with water features and broad fairways on the newer loop of the three nines and tree-lined fairways on the older course. Great value and the clubhouse atmosphere is most welcoming.
ROYAL OSTEND GOLF CLUB
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,300 yards
Royal Ostend is Belgium’s great links club and one of the oldest on the continent. Set hard against the North Sea, it is raw, sometimes exposed and wonderfully honest. Wind dominates strategy, and the course changes character daily. There is nothing manufactured here: just turf, weather and decision-making. For golfers who enjoy traditional seaside golf, Royal Ostend is a genuine treat and a fascinating contrast to Bruges’ inland courses.
Bruges—golf courses
OOSTBURG (ZEEUWS-VLAANDEREN)
• Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): approx. 6,500 yards
Just over the Dutch border and 35 minutes from Bruges, Oostburg adds variety to your golf programme. Flat and strategic, it relies on tree-lined fairways water and clever green complexes. Now 40 years old and with a superimpressive clubhouse, the club and course has matured to be a worthy inclusion for golfers. Enjoyable and well-maintained. And by playing Saint Omer or Dunkirk in France on one of your travel days, you can even play in three different countries on your short golf break. Who said that Brits were antiEurope?!
Bruges—the hotels
HOTEL
ARAGON – BRUGES
• Bedrooms: 42
• Official rating: 4-star
• Parking: Private parking available
Hotel Aragon is quietly one of the most sensible bases in Bruges. Just a short walk from the Market Square but calm, it allows guests to explore the city entirely on foot while retreating to peace at night. The hotel was entirely renovated in 2024 and further enhanced in early 2026 and breakfast is generous so you’ll have no excuses for your standard of play. There’s a hotel bar and the attractions of Bruges are just a step away. For longer stays, ask us about the stylish Casselburgh Residences with their lounges and kitchenettes.
GRAND HOTEL CASSELBURGH
• Bedrooms: 118
• Official rating: 4-star
• Restaurant quality: High-quality brasserie dining
• Parking: Private parking available
The Casselburgh is the larger and more elegant sister hotel to Hotel Aragon. The public lounges and bedrooms are extremely elegant. There is more than a touch of class about the Casselburgh and it’s a grand choice for non-golfers or when you’re not playing golf every day. There’s a spa
too and the attractions of the amazing city are on your doorstep. The modern wing boasts apartments for longer stays and/or family bookings.
MARTIN’S BRUGGE
• Bedrooms: 150
• Official rating: 3-star superior
Martin’s Brugge is all about location. Sitting directly beside the Belfry, it places you at the very heart of the city. Within the historic façade of former homes and business, the hotel provides a wealth of different room types and sizes and I’ve always found the hotel efficient and good value.
DUKE’S PALACE
• Bedrooms: 135
• Official rating: 5-star
• Restaurant quality: Fine dining and tapas bar
• Parking: On-site parking
A sister hotel to Hotel Aragon and the Grand, Duke’s Palace is Bruges at its most refined. Set within a former ducal residence, it’s the finest hotel in Bruges and comes complete with gourmet restaurant, gardens, plenty of parking and an indoor pool.
The bedrooms are thoughtfully appointed and the lounges are cosy. The terrace and private gardens make for a privileged oasis from the city. The Duke’s Palace is a class act which can be your retreat after a game of golf or your luxury base from which to explore the historic sites and lively atmosphere of Bruges.
PAVILLON DU ZOUTE – KNOKKE
• Bedrooms: approx. 35
• Official rating: 4-star
Bruges—the hotels
• Restaurant quality: High-quality coastal dining
• Parking: Private parking (free)
Pavillon du Zoute is a fitting partner to Royal Zoute Golf Club. Elegant, discreet and very much part of Knokke’s refined coastal culture, it offers a coastal alternative to staying in Bruges itself. Just a mile from both the beach and Royal Zoute Golf Club, the hotel is over 100 years old and has a popular restaurant, English gardens and indoor pool.
I describe Knokke-Heist as the “Belgian Riviera” with its long beach, great choice of restaurants and trendy beachside bars. It’s a little-known but wonderful destination just 30 minutes from Bruges and 15 minutes from the port of Zeebrugge with its regular services from Hull.
Pavillon du Zoute suits golfers who want to combine top-class golf with understated seaside luxury and who enjoy returning from the course to somewhere calm, polished and assured.

Chantilly
Horses, Heritage and the Most Civilised Golf in Northern France
I’ve always had a soft spot for Chantilly ever since I played in a British Universities match vs the French at Chantilly Vineuil. The welcome, style and scenery was sensational and nothing has changed my mind since. In fact, I lived in Chantilly for just over a year not so long ago.
Chantilly occupies a very particular place in French life. Close enough to Paris to feel its influence, yet far enough away to avoid its intensity and pretentiousness, it has long been considered the playground of wealthy Parisians who prefer space, greenery and elegance to noise or display. The result is a region that feels refined, confident and quietly prosperous and one of the most rewarding golf and equine destinations in France.
Ancient forest, sweeping parkland and open plains dominate, punctuated by grand estates, formal avenues and manicured polo fields. Horses are part of the fabric of daily life with its exquisite race track, the Living Horse Museum and several racing stables. You’ll often see thoroughbreds on their gallops. At the centre sits the Château de Chantilly, home of the Condé family and one of the most beautiful château complexes in France. Its vast grounds, lakes and formal gardens are a must-visit.
The town itself is elegant without being grand. Shops are small and independent, the atmosphere gently self-assured, cafés and restaurants dominate, catering to a clientele that expects quality but has no interest in ostentation. Evenings are calm, social and very French — the kind that begin with a walk, drift into dinner, and end without hurry.
For golf, you’re spoilt for choice with the World Top 100 Chantilly Vineuil leading the way and finely accompanied by eight other attractive golf courses. Chantilly is ideal for golfers who enjoy culture, landscape and proper dining as much as the game itself — and who appreciate being somewhere that feels part of history.
And all this just 2 1/4 from Calais.
Chantilly–the golf courses
GOLF DE CHANTILLY – VINEUIL
Architect: Tom Simpson
Par: 71 Yardage (White tees): 6,570 yards
Ranking: Regularly ranked Top 5–10 in France; World Top 100
Vineuil is one of France’s great inland courses and the spiritual heart of golf in the region. Designed by Tom Simpson, it exemplifies his belief that golf should reward intelligence, restraint and courage in equal measure.
Routed through woodland and heathland, Vineuil is a serious test without ever feeling heavy-handed. Tee shots must be placed thoughtfully to open up correct angles into the greens, many of which are subtly contoured and deceptively demanding. Simpson’s bunkering is strategic rather than decorative, and poor positioning is punished. The course has hosted the French Open 11 times and retains a strong private-club ethos. However, our clients are very much welcome midweek. Note that buggies are not available, shorts are not allowed and we recommend taking a blazer for the clubhouse.
GOLF DE CHANTILLY – LONGÈRES
Par: 73 Yardage (White tees): 6,745 yards
Often overshadowed by its illustrious sibling, Longeres is an intelligent course in its own right. Shorter in feel than Vineuil despite its yardage, it emphasises accuracy, rhythm and sound iron play rather than power. Set on gentler terrain and more open than Vineuil, it works particularly well as a second round or warm-up course. For mixed-ability groups, Longères offers enjoyment without intimidation while still holding the interest of experienced players and the fabulously traditional golf course. Buggies are
allowed with a medical certificate.
GOLF D’APREMONT
Architect: John Jacobs
Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): 6,995 yards
Apremont provides contrast and scale. Laid out across pine forest very much a “target” golf course, there’s plenty of variety and challenge on offer. Easy walking and with a most impressive clubhouse, Apremont provides a lovely
game of golf which poses questions without beating you up!
The fairways are generous but requires exacting approaches, with wellprotected greens that reward confident, committed play.
CHÂTEAU DE RARAY – LA LICORNE
Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): 6,720 yards
Chantilly—the golf courses
Raray is one of the most atmospheric rounds in the region. Set within the grounds of a private château estate, it feels deeply French in character elegant, slightly theatrical and rooted in its surroundings.
The course itself is enjoyable rather than brutal, relying on shaping, positioning and good decision-making. After a relatively banal start, the course really starts from the fourth onwards (when it heads into the forest) and is great fun all the way to the 18th-green with its unique chateau frame. A very French golf day!
L’ISLE-ADAM
Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): 6,770 yards
L’Isle-Adam sits attractively along the River Oise and offers a substantial parkland test. Tree-lined fairways, a couple of steep contours and approachable greens make it ripe to attack but you need to be confident. Rated in France’s
Top 70, L’Isle Adam is 30 minutes’ drive south of Chantilly but now boasts the classy Le Domaine des Vanneaux on-site hotel and is also just a short drive from the charming town of L’Isle Adam and Domont Montmorency as well as having its own exit off the A16 motorway from where Calais is motorway all the way. An exciting new destination awaits you.
Chantilly-the golf courses
MONT GRIFFON – PARCOURS DES LACS
Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): 6,450 yards
Mont Griffon introduces a more contemporary, open style of golf. Broad fairways, elevation changes and long holes give it a championship profile and provide a useful contrast to the classical courses around Chantilly. Superb practice facilities.
been frustrated at its condition. The lovely villa clubhouse provides a fitting backdrop to this elegant golf club.
CLUB DU LYS – LES CHÊNES
Architect: Tom Simpson
Par: 71 Yardage (White tees): 6,460 yards
Built as an upscale real estate project nearly 100 years ago while Simpson was also building Chantilly Vineuil, Les Chênes is a mature, tree-lined course with a loyal membership and a strong club atmosphere. Easy walking, I find the par fives to be tempting but the par threes tough. The par fours are a wonderful blend of short and sweet and proper two shotters. Les Chenes rewards accuracy and consistency and is rated in the French Top 50. Les Chenes has a shorter sister course which is fun but I’ve always
DOMONT–MONTMORENCY
Architect: Fred Hawtree
Par: 71 Yardage (White tees): 6,315 yards
Opened in the early 1970’s, this Fred Hawtree layout is the centre piece of an unfussy and traditional club. Located 40 minutes south of Paris, it’s not a course to blast your way around as the tree-lined fairways can be imposing
and the greens are small. Fred Hawtree was a prolific and muchrespected golf architect in an era of classic, unfussy design and his courses include Royal Waterloo. In other words, you’re in for a “hidden-gem” treat.
Chantilly—the golf courses
GOLF INTERNATIONAL DE ROISSY
Par: 72 Yardage (White tees): 7150 yards
Despite its proximity to the airport, Roissy is surprisingly peaceful and well structured. Opened in 2020, I like the way the course is laid out with gentle doglegs, stadium-like fairway surrounds and a great stretch of finishing holes. It’s the best course to the north-east of Paris and obviously ideal if you’re flying in/out of Paris CDG Airport.
Chantilly-the hotels
AUBERGE DU JEU DE PAUME – CHANTILLY
Bedrooms: 92
Official rating: 5-star
Restaurant quality: Michelin-starred fine dining
Parking: Private on-site parking
The Auberge du Jeu de Paume is Chantilly’s natural flagship hotel and one of the most refined places to stay anywhere in Northern France. Positioned adjacent to the Château de Chantilly (the hotel looks out onto the Living Horse Museum on one side and the chateau gardens on the other) it feels inseparable from the town’s aristocratic heritage. From the moment you arrive, there is order, discretion and confidence.
The architecture is classical, with interiors that reflect French elegance high ceilings, generous public spaces, soft colours and impeccable detailing. Service is polished without formality and the bedrooms are beautiful.
part of the appeal—as well as the brasserie, there’s a gourmet restaurant which is relaunching this spring with a new dining concept. And dining out is easy take a right turn out of the hotel front door and you’ve got a dozen restaurants within a short walk.
There’s a spa and indoor pool and cosy bar and the underground car park emphasises the attention to detail. A member of the Relais et Chateaux association, you know you’re in for a superior hotel experience. And our prices make it very, very appealing.
HÔTEL LE CHANTILLY
Bedrooms: 19
Official rating: 3-star
Parking: Limited Private parking
Hôtel Le Chantilly is small, friendly and well located. Family-run, it’s a tasteful renovation and overlooks the market square so you have so many restaurants within a two-minute walk, you might find it difficult to make a choice.
Choose Hotel Le Chantilly for its charm and practicality rather than facilities. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious, but the atmosphere is warm and personal, and service is attentive. Ideal for golfers who value authenticity and location over grandeur, and who prefer staying somewhere that feels part of the town rather than separate from it.

Chantily—the hotels
INTERCONTINENTAL CHÂTEAU MONT ROYAL – LA CHAPELLE-EN-
SERVAL
Bedrooms: 91
Official rating: 5-star
Restaurant quality: High-quality contemporary French dining
Parking: On-site parking (free)
Located 15 minutes south of both Chantilly and Senlis, Chateau Mont Royal is the romantic choice. I’ve known the hotel for nearly 30 years and I’ve never seen it look so smart. Under the InterContinental badge, I feel that the hotel has finally found its true identity classic beauty on the outside and contemporary on the inside.
The bedrooms are light and soft and extremely stylish and the lounges boast the hallmarks of true five-star hotels. Dining is in the former chateau library and the menu is what I would describe as “hearty gourmet”. There’s a stunning spa and the gardens and surrounding woodland and perfect for a pre-dinner stroll with a cocktail in your hand.
And despite all the interior luxury on offer, the highlight just might be the elevated terrace with its treetop view of thick forest with Paris sometimes viewable in the distance.
There have been a few other luxury hotel openings in Chantilly in recent years but Chateau Mont Royal is the only one that can really rival Auberge du Jeu de Paume. They have two very different locations but what a lovely decision to make!
DOMAINE DES VANNEAUX GOLF & SPA – L’ISLE-ADAM
Bedrooms: 65
Official rating: 4-star
Restaurant quality: Modern French restaurant
Parking: On-site parking (free)
Recently opened on the Isle Adam golf course, Domaine des Vanneaux is part of the MGallery Collections so expect trendy décor and a relaxed atmosphere within the very 21st-century farmhouse. Bedrooms start at 33m2 and have terrace or patio view looking out over the gardens and outdoor pool. There’s a spa, bar and sparkling brasserie with golf course views. And plenty of famous “Impressionist” villages nearby if you like your art.
Of course, you have the highly-ranked Isle Adam golf course on-site and you’re 20 minutes from both Domont Montmorency and Mont Griffon. 40 minutes will get you to Chantilly Vineuil and Saint Germain both rates in the French Top 5 and both offering a warm welcome to our clients midweek (and weekend during the summer months). A good find!
Chantilly—the hotels
GOLF HÔTEL MONT GRIFFON—LUZARCHES
Bedrooms: 54
Official rating: 3-star
Restaurant quality: Golf-hotel dining
Parking: Private parking (free)
No-nonsense, practical accommodation with every bedroom overlooking the 27-hole golf course. The clubhouse and bar and restaurant are a short drive and the towns of Chaumontel and Luzarches are also close.
Top-value and well-located for the courses of L’Isle Adam and Domont Montmorency, this is the choice where the golf is your primary concern.
HOSTELLERIE DE PORTEBELLON – SENLIS
Bedrooms: 20
Official rating: 3-star Logis de Frace
Restaurant : Brasserie
Parking: Adjacent parking
250 yards from the very centre of Senlis, is this wonderful Logis de France hotel. Senlis is one of the most charming small towns in the region with cobbled streets, Roman remains, a handsome cathedral and a lively but refined dining scene that feels genuinely local. The hotel bedrooms are simple but the ambience is so French and so relaxing. The hotel brasserie is popular with the locals, bar drinks are keenly priced and there’s a cellar and terrace for wine-tasting and lazy afternoons.
Fantastic value for our clients, a stay here reminds me of the best of France when life was more simple.
