Always a firm favourite amongst our customers and for good reason, Le Touquet Golf Resort offers a premium experience just across the English Channel. The resort boasts three superb courses – La Mer, La Foret, and the 9-hole Le Manoir. La Mer is without doubt the flagship course, usually ranked within the Top 100 courses in Continental Europe and often rated the best links course in France. La Forêt is a challenging parkland/woodland course and a good contrast to better known La Mer, whilst Le Manoir is an enjoyable 9-hole course, great for a quick round in the evening.

Le Touquet Golf Resort’s on-site accommodation, Manoir Hotel, is a great place to base yourself on your trip. With 41 modern rooms to choose from, with all the amenities you could need there is no shortage of space when visiting Le Touquet. The hotel is in a prime location within a 5-minute drive of Le Touquet town centre meaning you can finish up your days golf, head back to the hotel and hit the town, all within an hour if you choose. It is also home to a lovely restaurant, L’Ecusson, where you will be greeted with outstanding wine and an enticing a la carte menu, all captured within a welcoming environment.

The hotel also offers a fully stocked bar which can certainly come in handy if you’re looking to drown your sorrows after a challenging round (or celebrating a good round), plus, the on-site leisure facilities offer activities non-golf related such as an outdoor pool (open throughout July & August), tennis courts and a snooker room.

Located in the beautiful Bordeaux region in the South of France, Golf du Medoc Resort is a four-star resort that offers a refined environment, combining great golf, food, wine, ambience, and wonderful natural surroundings.

Set in 200-hectares of lovely French countryside, Golf du Medoc offers two courses known for being amongst the most beautiful layouts in all of Europe. Les Chateaux is the flagship course at the resort and is best known as the host course of the 1999 French Open, and more recently as the Best French Golf Course at the World Golf Awards in 2014 - 2018.

Les Vignes is the resort’s second course and although it doesn’t hold the same prestige as its bigger sister, it is by no means lacking the quality or challenge you would expect. Measuring at 6,802-yards, Les Vignes is reminiscent of the heathland courses found in Surrey, a great combination of tree-lined fairways and heather for an outstanding all-round challenge.

Alongside the golf, the resort offers 79 luxury rooms and suites that are perfect for golfers who fancy a nice relaxing retreat in a peaceful and discrete atmosphere. There’s plenty of non-golf activities to enjoy too, including an indoor swimming pool, steam room and a fully equipped fitness centre.

There is no shortage of places to eat, with the Le Club restaurant offering a casual meal, ideal for a post-round bite, and La Table du Medoc, which offers world-class food and wine in a smart-casual environment. Being at the heart of the famous wine region, we’d also highly recommend sampling the local wines, as well as the nearby Bordeaux city centre, which is one of the most beautiful locations in France.

Near the beautiful town of Cannes in sunny southern France, Terre Blanche is a luxury five-star resort set in 750-acres of gardens and pine forests, and is well-known for being a member of “The Leading Hotels of the World”. With two incredible 18-hole courses and over 300 days of sunshine each year, Terre Blanche is the perfect venue year-round.

With such incredible surroundings it's unsurprising to learn that Terre Blanche’s two golf courses are amongst the best the whole of France has to offer. Le Chateau is the main course on-site and is a demanding 7,200-yard layout. Seamlessly blending into the mountainside, the course requires accurate driving and correct club selection to navigate, with many hidden bunkers and hazards which you need to be wary of. Le Riou is the second course and although doesn’t hold the same challenge as Le Chateau does, it still demands respect and is certainly not to be underestimated. Measuring 6,600-yards, its elaborate design will keep you on your toes, as will the numerous bunkers and hills throughout the full 18-holes.

Along with the amazing on-site golf, the resort boasts 115 suites and villas with a minimum size of 645sqft, all of which include a private terrace to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Visitors will also enjoy the 35,000sqft Terre Blanche spa which offers a range of treatments and has all the facilities you could hope for, including a 20-metre indoor pool, an outdoor vitality pool, a sauna, a hammam, a fitness room with complementary daily classes and a beauty salon, as well as a tearoom set within a peaceful garden and terrace.

Terre Blanche has got you covered for gastronomic experiences as well, with two incredible Michelin-starred restaurants, three relaxing lunch-time settings, and a highly regarded wine cellar – the cherry on top of what is a world-leading, luxury resort.
