Hossegor
Golf Club d'Hossegor: The course here couldn’t be more different from its hilly and twisting neighbour at Seignosse, although both are well worth visiting. Hossegor is essentially flat. There's a slight rise up to the par-3 14th green and a blind tee shot back down again at the short par-5 15th. These are the only interruptions to an uncomplicated "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" layout.
Despite an absence of significant elevation changes and commanding views, the layout at Hossegor is a delight to play. Hitting onto good-width fairways and putting-out on firm true greens, are two of the layout's attractive attributes.
The villas around the course perimeter and ever-present woodland of mature pines, strawberry trees and cork oak, make for a pleasant environment. With a brace of short par-5s to be played, there's also the opportunity to card a good score on this fine old John Morrison design.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
