Set in Lumbres, around 15 minutes from Saint-Omer, Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club is a scenic and technical golf venue in northern France, close to the Opal Coast and within easy reach of Calais. The club sits in the Aa Valley and offers two courses: the 18-hole Le Val Course and the 9-hole La Haute Drève Course, making it a strong option for short golf breaks, self-drive trips from the UK and wider northern France itineraries.

The main Le Val Course follows the natural curves of the valley, with panoramic views, elevation changes and a layout that asks golfers to think carefully about club selection and ball placement. It is not a flat resort-style course; the slopes, changing lies and firm-running fairways create a more technical challenge, especially in dry summer conditions when the ball can run and bounce unpredictably.

From the back tees, Le Val measures around 6,326 metres, but forward tee options make it more accessible for regular holiday golfers. The course places a strong emphasis on iron play and approach shots, with greens set among oak, beech and maple trees, plus enough movement and subtlety to keep the round interesting throughout.

The shorter La Haute Drève Course is made up of 9 technical holes and works well for beginners, warm-up rounds, mixed-ability groups or golfers wanting an extra game during a stay. Practice facilities include a driving range with covered bays, approach greens and a putting green, with a pro shop and academy also available on site.

For stay-and-play trips, the Hôtel du Golf is located at the foot of the course, with 54 rooms and suites, restaurant, bars, sauna, whirlpool and views over the golf course or surrounding forest. For UK golfers, Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club is especially useful as a first or final stop on a France golf holiday, pairing naturally with Le Touquet, Hardelot, Wimereux and the wider Opal Coast.
