france

thinking of taking up offer of playing 2 rounds at la toukey spelt wrong probley and looking for a partner who would be interested in joining me for the trip what are the courses in france like

Le Touquet has two courses, one, Le foret and the other La Mer. They are entirely different from each other and La Mer is really a tough track not for the faint hearted.

Perhaps it would be better to play at Hardelots' two courses for your first time to France.

I have played a few of the Northern France courses a few times and am intending to head there in a few weeks time with a gang from work.

The courses I have played in order of favourites is:

• Belled Dune
• Hardelot Les Pines
• Le Touquet La Foret
• Nampont St Martin Belevedere
• Hardelot Les Dunes
• Wimeraux

Belle Dune is a fantastic course which I will always try to include when I'm there.  It is quite long.  Nampont St Martin has two courses.  The Belevedere is very forgiving and I have played it as an easy opener when I've been with high handicap players before.  Wimeraux is a tough links course which I have played only once and where I lost most of my balls in one round.

Other courses that I haven't played include:

• Le Touquet La Mer
• Nampont St Martin Les Cygnes

Both these courses are on my list to play.  Le Touquet La Mer is quite tough I believe as is Les ygnes at Nampont due to the amount of water.

For my upcoming trip I am hoping to do a 2 night 3 round trip with www.golfbreaks.com and intend to play Hardelot Les Pins then Belle Dune then Wimeraux.

Check out the courses on here and on Golfbreaks website.  I have always stayed in hotels in central le Touquet.

If you are doing a day trip to get 2 rounds in then playing both the Hardelot courses would be my suggestion and play the dunes course first.  Getting a bit late in the year maybe to get 2 rounds in comfortably in one day with the travel.
