Hardelot Les Dunes

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 71 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

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 golf 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! A must play on your golf holiday.
