La Foret Course

Built in 1904, this is one of the oldest courses in France and was designed as the British were popularising the sport across the Channel. This course meanders through impressive trees giving you a secluded and private feel as you play, or shielding you from the judging glare of other golfers if you are having a bad day.

Whilst this course is an easier affair than La Mer, it is still a great challenge for golfers and will test a different set of golfing skills than the links course. Le Forêt feels like a classic, well-established parkland course and is always in great condition!

The large oaks and pines shelter you from the inevitable coastal winds whilst adding a challenging character to the course. The difference in feel between this course and its younger brother on the coast is striking. Here you have a large side-helping of tranquillity to go with your golf.

"La Foret is a lovely tree-lined course. I was really pleasantly surprised. Much more parkland compared with the sibling La Mer, which makes for quite an interesting contrast. Both courses are very fair and make for a terrific test of golf." - Mark Crossfield, PGA Professional
