Golf Society Trips to Northern France

You know how it goes. You volunteered, or were volunteered, to sort this year’s society trip, and now there are 18 WhatsApp messages about tee times, three blokes who haven’t paid, and a hotel that won’t confirm a group rate over email. Organising a golf society trip is a thankless job, right up until the moment someone else does the heavy lifting and you get to simply turn up and play.

That’s where we come in. Golf Planet Holidays has been arranging tailor-made golf trips for UK societies since 1981, and Northern France is one of the easiest, best-value escapes on our books. A short hop across the Channel, championship links and forest courses, proper hotels, and group prices that work whether you’re 12 or 24 strong. Trips start from £495 per person.

For a UK society, Northern France hits a sweet spot that few destinations match. It’s close, it’s familiar, and it punches well above its travel time. The golf is the star: Le Touquet’s La Foret winds through pine and silver birch, while La Mer is a true links laid out among the dunes, regularly ranked among the best in France. Down the coast, Hardelot’s Les Pins and Les Dunes give you two contrasting tests on one site, and Belle Dune at Fort Mahon adds a wild, rolling dune course that always gets the group talking at dinner.

Crucially for a society of 12 to 24, it scales. You can fill a tee sheet across two or three courses without anyone feeling shortchanged, and the towns, Le Touquet and Montreuil-sur-Mer, have the restaurants and bars to keep the evenings as memorable as the rounds.

Your base sets the tone, and we match it to your group. The Hotel Barriere Le Westminster in Le Touquet is the grand option, a landmark address with the comfort and service to make the trip feel like an occasion. The Red Fox, also in Le Touquet, is the relaxed, sociable choice, well placed for the town and easy on the budget, which keeps the per-person price down without losing quality. A little inland, the Best Western Hermitage in the walled town of Montreuil-sur-Mer offers something with more character for groups who like their evenings with a bit of local flavour.

Whichever you choose, we negotiate the group rate so you don’t have to, and we hold rooms together so your society isn’t scattered across three floors.

The reason societies come back to us year after year is simple: we take the admin off your hands. One point of contact, one GBP price, one tee-sheet that actually works. We coordinate the courses, the hotel, the transfers and the running order, and we build in the group rates so the savings land where they should, on the per-person cost. On most group bookings the organiser plays free, and if you’d rather not lift a finger on the ground, we can arrange a hosted or escorted trip with a representative handling the day-to-day.

Behind all of it sits the protection that matters. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your society’s money is held in trust with PTS until you’ve travelled, so the kitty everyone chipped into is safe until the wheels are up. Tell us your numbers, your dates and roughly what you want to spend, and we’ll come back with a plan you can put to the group.
