Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club

For those who are more experienced, the golfing challenge is clear. From the 2nd, a very long downhill par 3, and the 3rd, the most difficult overhanging par 4, it’s clear that you’re going to have to play the slopes with great technical accuracy, while hoping for the right bounce from the ball, which can be quite fickle. This factor, which is similar to that of British links courses, is even more important in summer. Fully committed to maintaining the course through a policy of sustainable water use (without even thinking about using pesticides), the fairways harden and turn golden when there is a dry spell. The greens, on the other hand, remain permanently lush green. At the forefront of ecological issues, the courses offer magnificent contrasts of colour that will have environmentally conscious golfers in raptures.

However, and this is the key point, the game remains unaffected. Iron shots are of prime importance, with a number of beautiful greens, and not just on the par 3s! Sometimes nestling around oak, beech or maple trees, with or without overhangs, the greens may be vast but they’re never completely flat.. An extra layer of difficulty… While from the back tees, the course is 6,326 metres long, the average golfer, who makes up the majority of the clientele, can tee off from closer in, play less aggressively and enjoy the different panoramas of the valley at their leisure. On the terrace, which overlooks a large part of the site, they will be able to look back with pride on having played it.
