Travelling alone doesn’t have to mean missing out on a proper golf trip. Northern France is barely a short hop from the UK, yet it delivers links and forest golf that rivals anywhere on the continent, and it’s tailor-made for the solo golfer who wants the freedom of going it alone with none of the awkwardness of arriving as a one. From
Golf Planet Holidays has been arranging golf trips for British golfers since 1981, and we know how to look after someone travelling on their own. Tell us how you like to play and how much golf you’d like, and we’ll do the rest, booking your tee times, recommending the right hotel for a solo stay, and making sure you spend your time playing golf rather than chasing arrangements. The company on the course, if you want it, tends to look after itself.
Travel alone, play at your own pace
The fear that stops some solo golfers booking is a simple one: standing on the first tee with no one to play with. In Northern France it rarely works out that way. As an enquiry-based specialist, we arrange your tee times so the week flows, and most clubs will happily pair a single golfer with other players on the day if you fancy the company, often other Brits who are there for exactly the same reason you are. That part is the course’s call on the morning rather than something we arrange.
The real appeal, though, is the freedom. You play the courses you want, in the order you want, at your own pace, then wind down over a beer and dinner in Le Touquet or Montreuil-sur-Mer with no fourball to round up before you flew. You keep all the independence of a solo trip, and the company is there on the day if you’d like it.
The courses you'll play in Northern France
The golf here is the real draw. At Le Touquet you have two contrasting championship layouts on one estate: Le Touquet La Mer, a true links rolling through the dunes beside the sea, and Le Touquet La Foret, a calmer, tree-lined test winding through pine and birch, perfect for easing into the trip or playing a gentler second round.
A short drive south, Hardelot offers two of the finest courses in the region. Hardelot Les Pins is a celebrated parkland classic threading through towering pines, while Hardelot Les Dunes brings a more open, undulating links-style challenge. And at Belle Dune, Fort Mahon, you’ll play a wild, dune-framed course carved through pine forest and sand, dramatic, memorable and unlike anything you’ll find at your home club. Mix and match across these as you like; we’ll build the rotation around your handicap and how much golf you want to play.
Where our specialists would stay in Northern France
Where you'll stay
We match the hotel to the solo golfer. The Hotel Barriere Le Westminster in Le Touquet is the grand, classic choice, a landmark address with the kind of atmosphere that makes dining alone feel like an occasion rather than an afterthought. The Red Fox, also in Le Touquet, is a relaxed, well-placed base close to the courses and the town’s bars and restaurants. And the Best Western Hermitage in Montreuil-sur-Mer puts you in one of the prettiest fortified towns in France, full of character and walkable in an evening. Whichever you choose, you’re in the heart of the golf, with everything within easy reach.

We booked 2 nights at The Westminster with three rounds of golf. Hotel was brilliant cannot be faulted. Both courses at Hardelot and then Les Dunes were superb. Simon and Heather at Golf planet spent a huge amount of time on our booking for 13 and…
Our experience with Simon and Golf Planet Holidays was terrific! Simon was very accommodating and responsive to all of our requests. I would certainly recommend Simon for any Le Touquet trips and we will be using Simon again next year for sure!
Played Bondues near Lille..two great courses, in great condition despite the drought we have suffered over the summer. Stayed in Lille, itself near the Grande Place which was lively and fun..recommended!
Frequently asked questions
How much does a solo golf holiday in Northern France cost?
Prices start from
Will I have to play on my own?
Not unless you want to. We book your tee times in advance, and most clubs will pair a single golfer with others on the day if you’d like company, while a quieter round can give you the course more to yourself. That is the course’s decision on the day rather than something we arrange, but single golfers are common and welcome here, and everything is sorted before you travel.
Which courses will I play?
Northern France gives you a superb rotation: Le Touquet La Mer and Le Touquet La Foret on one estate, Hardelot Les Pins and Hardelot Les Dunes a short drive away, and the dramatic dune golf of Belle Dune at Fort Mahon. We’ll tailor which courses you play to your handicap and how much golf you want.
Is my money protected when I book?
Yes. Golf Planet Holidays is ATOL Protected, and your payment is held in trust with PTS until you have travelled, so your money is fully safeguarded from the moment you book until you return home. You book direct with a UK specialist who has arranged golf trips since 1981.
