Golf de Wimereux, Wimereux (Pas-de-Calais), France
Set along the windswept coastline of northern France between Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer, Golf de Wimereux offers one of the most authentic links-style experiences on the French coast. Overlooking the North Sea, the course is exposed, natural and shaped heavily by the elements — very much in the spirit of traditional British links golf.

The 18-hole layout stretches to just over 6,100 yards and features firm fairways, rolling terrain and minimal tree cover, allowing the wind to play a major role in every round. Accuracy and creativity are key, with plenty of opportunities to use the ground game and adapt to changing conditions.

Wimereux is not overly long, but it can be deceptively challenging depending on the weather. The exposed setting means wind direction and strength can completely change how the course plays, making each round feel different. It’s a true thinking golfer’s course rather than one you overpower.

What really sets Wimereux apart is its character. It’s not overly polished or resort-style — instead, it offers a raw, authentic links experience with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It’s particularly popular with UK golfers due to its easy access via Eurotunnel and proximity to Calais.
