Le Touquet (La Foret)
Golf du Touquet (La Forêt course): golfers from France, Britain and Belgium, and many more countries besides, have been well-served for over a century by Golf du Touquet on the Côte d’Opale. In 1904 the Horace Hutchinson-designed Forêt course set the ball rolling. Some 25 years later a second course, La Mer, opened for play.
Generally regarded as second in line to Le Touquet's La Mer course, the ever-popular "Forest" layout also puts up a thoroughly enjoyable test of golf. Pre-dating its open linksland stablemate by 27 years, the predominantly tree-lined Forêt occupies a flatter and more wooded parkland environment. Pine and birch trees, rather than towering dunes, flourish alongside the good-width (sometimes opulently wide) fairways on the Forêt's two nine-hole loops.
Although you won't be exposed to the dramatic sand hills of La Mer, La Forêt's back-nine contains many excellent holes benefitting from naturally contoured, gently undulating terrain. The downhill par-3 8th is one of the highlights of the closing stretch on the front-nine. With generally good-quality upkeep La Forêt provides a perfect foil to the impressive duneland La Mer course, and is not to be overlooked when you visit Le Touquet.
