Rory heads to Northern France for a France Golf Break with Mark Crossfield, Coach Lockey and Dan Hendriksen. Join the guys as they spend day on of the golf tour playing both the La Mer and La Foret courses at Le Touquet Golf Resort.
With just a 35 minute crossing from Folkestone to Calais, the Eurotunnel makes France one of the most convenient golf holiday locations for golfers based in the UK. After arriving in Calais, the likes of Hardelot, located 45 minutes away, and Le Touquet Golf Resort, another 15 minutes further south, are easily accessed once on location in France.
Le Manoir Hotel is one of many accommodation options in this region of France and its location just a stone’s throw from the golf courses at Le Touquet makes it an ideal base for those embarking on a France Golf Holiday.

Fast and firm fairways but soft greens
Fast and firm. #dropmyoff
I’ve been and played there and agree La Mer it’s a great stunning course . Definitely one of my favourites.
good stuff Rory. really enjoyed this vlog. 👍🏻
I love a fast and firm course mixed with greens that are a bit responsive. Not overly responsive if that makes sense. However you have nailed it there is other areas that need water before a golf course. Just cause it's brown doesn't mean it isn't in good nick 🙂
Fully agree with you that France is a great golf destination. I highly recommend the two courses at Golf du Medoc near Bordeaux and there are a bunch of other good courses in the area. Would be great to see you all playing those
Lush n green rory for me love the yardage increase with brown courses but prefer the control of green courses.
Great video Ray, keep up the good work mate.
I like Mark like both types of course, I also think that the fast and running courses make you have to think a wee bit more with your shot/club selection.
As for France it is a lovely golf destination, Would recommend it to everyone to give it a go i was lucky enough to celebrate joining the old gits club (60) with present from the family of spending 4 days at Saint Saens hotel and golf through you guys, using the same route as you Rory but about an hour further south. Loved every minute of it.
Great video bruh that place looks awesome, poor coach hope he starts enjoying golf again soon
Nice vid Rory.
Played both and stayed at the hotel.Wouldnt disagree with any of the comments but Belle Dune just down the road is still my favourite.
A great montage , music and infos .
Fast and firm with tight lines around the greens
Great vlog as per usual Ray
Went to France a long time ago
I remember playing Belle Dune and I think Nampont
Love to go again
Down Under Ray, driest continent in the world, so use to brown and running but do love a lush green one that's like carpet. That La Mer course looks stunning and how convenient right next to the hotel. Sorry couldn't resist.
Nice vlog bruh. Did anyone have a mare, on Le Mer! 😂
I always prefer brown and running over lush and green. It just makes it so much more interesting and fun.
Looks like Matt had a good day! #down15chromies
Great vlog as always Rory. France will definitely be considered for our next trip away👍👍
How long is the drive from Calais bruh?
Love those teenage arms!!! Lol 😂
Good vlog, courses look great. Always struggle going from summer fast running, to autumn green and lush. Never take enough club! I have only done SW France, Seignosse and Moliets which are also nice courses.
La Touquet is a place I haven’t been back to since I used to fly kites professionally. Hmm must get back there now I play golf very very unprofessionally ha ha.
Who had the Le Mer? The way Coach played at St Mellion on Parfield's channel I guess it cold be him!
Rory have you ever seen mark and Stuart cink in the same room??
Course condition Q: I have loved playing this summer on a number of courses where they have been sun beaten. At Leeds Golf Club I drove the 326yd par 4! How can you not like that.It just brings another dynamic to the game to embrace and I wouldn't curse the club for not watering the fairways unless it caused some issues with them for future playability.
Great stuff as ever Rory… Glad to see this as I'm about to book my next year's away day and have been debating northern France
Was Matt tired or pissed……… or was his golf just that bad!? 😱🙈😂
Never been never really thought about it till now. Hummm could be on the bucket list now so so many choices
La mer looks fantastic Ray.!!!
How do food prices compare.?? At clubhouse and in town
you have the perfect job! currently trying to convince my mates to go France for long weekend. doubt ill make it this year but looks super convenient. lol
Bit of dry and brown is fairly normal for some places. Just another aspect to factor into your play.Thanks for showing the accomodation and off course stuff.This is especially helpfull when travelling with the better half.
i like a course that goes with nature
Please make some snooker videos. I would love to see the Muppets play a few complete frames.
Love a bouncy fast course, throws the good players into a panic sometimes as have to change the game considerably. Great looking courses, cheers for another destination to consider. Cheer up Locks.
Was the ungrateful miserable git who wouldn't make any comment on another freebie, leave him at home next time.
Love the inclusion of the town bro.
Dan @8:45 “more my eye where you can shape it “through” the trees😂
Go for brown !!! We can't waste water anymore. La mer is a great course, played it twice.
You’re welcome at golf de servanes anytime!
Love Le Mer, I got my first and only hole in one on the second in 2014. 3 iron off the white tees.
Hey Rory, love your shows.
Would you dare to do some different review where its not a total review of resorts, where its more about ranking the golf and not accomodation?
Golf is for everyone these days i i for one couldnt Care less about Nice clubhouses and hotels compaired to the golf experience?
How about best low budget best treats.
Maybe just a different Way of ranking – just a thought
Lush and green. If I'm going to travel to a golf resort, I want to play on green grass not brown thatch.
I like courses to be au natural up to a point. Tee boxes and greens for sure need watering, and courses need to be vigilant with GIR if the fairways are too dry and get cracked our really bare.
Rory how many of these courses can you play without an official handicap…
Good on you Ray for pointing out how irresponsible it would be to try and water a course when the conditions are dry. I like a natural golf course. If that means brown, firm, fast then it can be a ton of fun.
Vice versa, if it's been a rainy season then grab some waterproofs and get on with it.
Cheers
No sprinkler system? No problem as long as it doesn’t go bald.
Been to Le Touquet 6 times since taking up golf 6 years ago. Really nice town, beach, bars and restaurants are fantastic. Playing Le Mer for first time this summer, hope it is good because after playing Les Dunes, Les Pins and Belle Dunes, it has a lot to live up to, as these three courses are superb. Also played La Foret, me personally thought that there were several average looking holes, especially the first 6 , but the golf course did get better. The New Club House and Golf Shop are probably the best though, club house and views from the 19th hole are not to shabby at Les Dunes and Les Pins. The change to the 18th hole at Les Dunes is awesome :0)
Top 5 courses for me that I have played many times around the Le Touquet area:
1) Le Dunes – Golf d'Hardelot 10/10
2) Les Pins – Golf d'Hardelot
3) Belle Dune
4) La Foret
5) La Mer
Le Touquet is a lovely town, beautiful beach and fantastic restaurants, plus the locals/residents are really polite and hospitable.
