Course overview

La Forêt charms players with its peaceful setting and strategic design. The fairways are lined with mature pine trees, and while the layout is more sheltered than La Mer, it demands precision and course management. Well-placed bunkers and subtly contoured greens require thoughtful shot-making. The course is playable year-round thanks to excellent maintenance and its protected location, which shields it from coastal winds.

Signature Holes

Golfers visiting Le Touquet will be greeted by a range of distinctive holes, notably the 11th and 15th, which tend to ruin a few scorecards on even the best days. Although Le Touquet La Mer often receives all of the accolades, La Forêt should not be overlooked as it provides the perfect contrast to its sister course.

Post Round

After your round, relax with a glass of wine or local French cuisine on the clubhouse terrace overlooking the course. Le Touquet-Paris-Plage itself is a vibrant seaside resort town, rich in history and charm, with fine dining, boutique shops, and wide sandy beaches just minutes away, making it a superb golf-and-leisure destination.
