Wimereux Golf Club

That’s true golf! There’s no escaping it: for orthodox golfers, the game is only really at its best on a links course, where it was born. Just like in a bunker, however, it is important to be open-minded, and to remember that for any golfer not playing a links course is tantamount to not having dessert. Some would even go as far as to say that it’s the main course, given the battle waged against the winds… But at Wimereux, it’s a double helping: not only is this a true links course, but you can also enjoy hearty, tasty food in the clubhouse. Not to mention the friendly atmosphere!

Accustomed to playing courses of this kind, the British, Belgians and Dutch are regulars at this club, which was founded in 1901. Do they come so that their swing doesn’t feel too out of place? No, like the local players, they simply come to enjoy an invigorating experience based on the game in a typically Scottish environment, with plenty of local touches. A few trees sometimes line the fairways, there’s a stretch of water defending the 18th green and even a wetland nature reserve – along holes 2 and 3 – where the flora and fauna are a reminder that, first and foremost, this is the Pas-de-Calais after all!
