Hardelot is one of the best short-break golf destinations in northern France, especially for UK golfers who want great courses without a long journey. Set on the Opal Coast between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Le Touquet, Hardelot-Plage combines wide sandy beaches, pine forests, elegant villas and a relaxed seaside feel. It is also only around 45 km from the LeShuttle terminal at Calais, making it a very practical option for a French golf escape.

The main draw is Golf d’Hardelot, home to two 18-hole courses: Les Pins and Les Dunes. Les Pins is the classic, originally designed by British architect Tom Simpson and recognised as one of the top courses in continental Europe. Les Dunes offers a different test, with undulating ground, lakes, dunes and forest creating a strategic and scenic round.

Away from the fairways, Hardelot is ideal for golfers who enjoy fresh coastal air, beach walks, cycling, watersports and easy day trips along the Côte d’Opale. Nearby highlights include Château d’Hardelot, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Le Touquet and the wider Opal Coast, with its seaside resorts, museums and outdoor activities.

For golfers looking for a convenient France golf holiday with strong courses, seaside charm and easy access from the UK, Hardelot is a brilliant choice. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the right hotels, tee times and travel route.
