Set inland from the coast, Saint Omer provides the region with golfing variety as it is carved through the towering woodland of the region. The tight fairways and undulating terrain place an emphasis on quality ball striking from both the tee and the fairway in order to score well.

However, for those who enjoy a more social round of golf then Saint Omer is a great place for you too as its variety of tee boxes significantly alter the way in which the course plays making it accessible for all abilities.

Ranked inside the top 100 courses in Europe, Golf de Wimereux is also one of the oldest clubs in the region. Having been originally founded in 1901, the course suffered severe damage from the war and was refurbished by Campbell and Hutchinson.

The traditional seaside layout of the courses means it provides golfers with stunning views out towards the English Channel and on a clear day of the white cliffs of Dover. The course may only measure 6,700 yards from the tips but the traditional and tactically placed links pot bunkers mean a trip to sand is almost certainly going to cost you a shot.
