Golf
in Pas de Calais
 The
Pas de Calais region is in the North of France and it is, surprisingly, the most
popular region for travelling British golfers, brushing aside the likes of Brittany
and Normandy with consummate ease. Its popularity, of course, is due mainly to
location, with the port of Calais and Eurotunnel providing ease of access at all
times.
So, just a quick nip across the water from the south of England and
you are presented with a wonderful array of teasing courses, coupled with a wide
variety of accommodation to suit of travelling parties. Your golfing group can
choose from secluded guesthouses situated away from all the action to centrally
located hotels -from two-star to five star - right in the heart of the action.
There
are over ten courses to enjoy in the region, from nine-hole retreats to full-on
championship standard tests. Two of the best on offer are the town courses at
Hardelot and Le Touquet, both 36-hole challenges.
 Both
the Hardelot courses are superb and mender through avenues of pine trees with
various water hazards creeping in along the way. The Le Touquet resort provides
two distinctly different challenges in that one is a links and the other a more
parkland design.
Both towns offer rich pickings for golfers, as there are
a myriad of golfing hotels dotted in and around the outskirts in addition to the
glut of golfer-friendly bars and restaurants.
Other courses to sample include
the US-style St Omer and Wimereux courses. Others worth a visit include Arras,
Belle Dune and Dunkirk. Tour operators on the side of this page will be able to
