AT A GLANCE
Golf courses
Set within a remarkable setting in Northern France, Hardelot comprises of two wonderful golf courses both in fantastic condition. Situated within idyllic pine lined fairways, “Les Pins”, a Tom Simpson Classic and “Les Dunes” a wonderfully challenging golf course are both marvellous choices for golfers of all abilities.
Situated in idyllic pine lined fairways in Northern France, Hardelot les Dunes and Les Pins are perfect for those looking for two exciting and testing games of golf.
Hardelot Les Dunes (Golf d'Hardelot)
Out of the two remarkable golf courses at Hardelot, Les Dunes is the newer golf course. Having been designed and built in the 1990’s by Belgium architect, Paul Rollin, the par 73 golf course consists of many natural shapes and undulating land and without doubt makes for a challenging game. Though the fairways are wide and inviting, it is the line, not the length that will be important due to the numerous blind shots and the tricky dog legs that will need to be negotiated. There are cunningly sited green side bunkers and the subtle borrows on the green to watch out for.

Hardelot Les Pins (Golf d'Hardelot)
Ranked as one of the top 100 golf courses in Europe, this popular 18 hole golf course was built in 1934 by the famous British architect, Tom Simpson. The fairways are lined with magnificent trees that were once part of the ancient forest in which France and England signed the famous peace treaty 450 years ago. Over the years, Les Pins has been the host to numerous championship events. The golf course consists of strategically placed bunkers and well guarded greens which definitely require an accurate stroke play. The unique par 72 – championship course includes five short holes and five long holes, but watch out for the 6th as this is considered to be one of the hardest par 5’s in Europe!
