GROUND-ONLY, SELF-DRIVE FROM THE TUNNEL

Load the boot, take the tunnel, tee off by lunch.

France golf holidays

Drive straight off LeShuttle and you're an afternoon from Harry Colt's La Mer links at Le Touquet, the old French Open course, with the Westminster's 1920s rooms five minutes away. Further south, Cabot Bordeaux pairs Bill Coore fairways with the Médoc vineyards. The crossing comes baked in, so the only thing left to pack is the clubs.

France is the quiet giant of European golf, and the one country you can reach with your own clubs in the boot. Drive on, take LeShuttle from Folkestone, and the Channel-coast courses at Le Touquet, Hardelot and Belle Dune are barely ninety minutes from Calais, with the crossing built into the price. Prefer to fly? Bordeaux, Nice and Biarritz are a short hop for the vineyard and Riviera golf further south. Either way you get links-like fairways on the Channel coast, championship layouts among the Bordeaux vines, sun-warmed courses on the Riviera, and some of the best food and wine in the world.

We have travelled and tailored French golf holidays since 1981, planning the whole trip end to end: hotel, tee times, transfers and every round.

Why play golf in France

France's strength is variety within easy reach. Few countries let you pair a morning round with a vineyard lunch, a Michelin dinner or a day in Paris. The golf runs from the historic Channel resorts — Le Touquet, Hardelot and the courses around the Somme — to the elegant parkland of Chantilly, the Atlantic edge of Brittany, and the pine-and-sunshine layouts of Provence and the Côte d'Azur. Every resort we feature has been visited by our team, so the recommendation you get is first-hand, not a brochure.

The courses you’ll play

In the north, the seaside courses of Le Touquet and Hardelot give a true British feel a short hop from home. Around Paris, Chantilly and the great parkland estates offer history and calm. Head south-west for Biarritz and the dramatic Atlantic coast, or to the Médoc where golf and grand cru sit side by side. In Brittany, Dinard and Saint-Malo play along the sea; in the south, the Riviera and Provence reward those who want golf with guaranteed warmth. We match the courses to your group, your handicaps and the trip you want.

Where you’ll stay

Our French hotels run from relaxed golf-resort four-stars to landmark five-stars. On the Channel coast we feature the Hôtel Barrière Le Westminster and Le Bristol at Le Touquet; in Brittany, the elegant Domaine de la Bretesche and Hôtel Barrière L'Hermitage at La Baule; near Paris, the Relais & Châteaux Auberge du Jeu de Paume at Chantilly; on the south-west coast, the iconic Hôtel du Palais at Biarritz; and in Burgundy, the Hôtel Golf Château de Chailly. Whether you want golf on the doorstep or a base for several courses, we build the stay around the golf.

Best time to play golf in France

France plays almost all year, but where you go depends on the season. The north and Atlantic coast — Le Touquet, Brittany, Normandy — are at their best from May to September, with long, mild days. Spring and autumn (April to June, September to October) are the sweet spot for most of the country: warm enough for shirt-sleeve golf, quiet on the fairways, and stunning in the Bordeaux and Burgundy vineyards at harvest. For winter sun, the Riviera and Provence stay playable through the cooler months. Tell us your dates and we'll point you to the region in form.

A sense of France

History & heritage

France keeps its history where you can walk straight into it. Reims cathedral is where French kings were crowned, and the Cistercian abbeys further south still explain the shape of Burgundy's vineyards. Normandy carries a heavier weight. Bayeux has the Conquest embroidered on a wall and a cathedral worth the detour, the landing beaches are a short run west, and Mont Saint-Michel sits at the far end of the same coast. Brittany answers in granite: walled Saint-Malo, and the standing stones at Carnac, older than any of it. The Loire is chateau country proper, Chambord and Chenonceau within a morning of each other. Go south and the record turns Roman, the arena at Nimes, the Pont du Gard, the quarried cliffs at Les Baux. Arras and Lille give you Flemish squares and belfries. Strasbourg is half German and makes no secret of it.

Food & wine

Golf in France is organised around lunch, and nobody apologises for that. Champagne is the obvious start, the great houses along the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay pouring bottles you will not find at home. Burgundy is more serious again: base yourself in Beaune and you can taste your way up the slope, village wine to grand cru, in an afternoon. Bordeaux plays it grander, Margaux and Saint-Emilion, oysters from Arcachon with a cold glass of white. Normandy runs on cider, calvados and butter, and its cheeses are the strongest argument for the region. Brittany does Cancale oysters and salted caramel. The Basque country cures its own ham and cooks with Espelette pepper. Provence means bouillabaisse and rose from Bandol; Alsace, Riesling and choucroute. Book dinner. Outside the cities kitchens close earlier than English visitors expect.

Beyond the fairways

Non-golfers do well in France, which is not true everywhere we sell. The Atlantic coast is a surf coast, and Hossegor or Seignosse on a big swell is worth watching even with no intention of paddling out. Normandy has the chalk cliffs at Etretat and the harbour at Honfleur, still the prettiest hour on that stretch. Deauville has racing and a boardwalk. Brittany is for the coast path and cold, clear water off Dinard and La Baule. Inland, the Loire is best seen from a bicycle, and Burgundy's canal towpaths are flat and quiet enough for anyone. The Alps offer Annecy's lake, Lake Geneva at Evian, thermal water and cable cars. Provence runs on markets, the spring at Fontaine de Vaucluse, the flamingos out in the Camargue. Cannes has the Croisette and boats to the Lerins islands.

Getting around & exploring

Much of our French business is self-drive, and in the north the crossing is half the appeal. LeShuttle runs Folkestone to Calais in 35 minutes, up to four departures an hour, straight off the M20 at junction 11a, and you stay in the car. From Calais the A16 has you in Le Touquet in about an hour, while the A26, the Autoroute des Anglais, reaches Arras quickly and Reims in about two and a half hours. For Normandy and Brittany the western ferries suit better: Newhaven to Dieppe takes four hours, Portsmouth to Caen six by day. Beyond that the A13 links Paris to Rouen and Caen, the A10 runs to Tours and Bordeaux with the A63 on to Biarritz, and the A6, A8 and A9 handle Burgundy, the Riviera and Languedoc. The A26 is tolled from Saint-Omer on, and the total mounts. Get a Crit'Air sticker before you go.

Good to know before you book

Getting there

France gives you two easy ways in. The simplest for the northern courses is to drive: load your clubs, take LeShuttle from Folkestone to Calais in thirty-five minutes, and you can be on the first tee at Le Touquet, Hardelot, Wimereux or Belle Dune the same day. On those Channel-coast breaks, and on drive-over stays as far as Burgundy and Bordeaux, we build the LeShuttle crossing into the price (usually based on four sharing a car), so there is no airport, no baggage fees for the clubs, and your own car waiting at the hotel. Prefer to fly for the south? Flights to Paris, Bordeaux, Nice, Nantes and Biarritz take one to two hours, and we arrange private transfers from the airport to your hotel and to each course. Want one ATOL-protected price with flights added? Just ask, and we handle everything on the ground.

Good to know

Every French holiday we arrange is hand-built and ground-only as standard: your hotel, a chosen number of rounds with green fees, and transfers, built around your group. Buggies are available at most resorts (handy for the hillier southern courses), and dress is smart-casual on and off the course. Green fees and tee times are confirmed in writing before you travel — no surprises. Add flights, buggies, lessons or a second centre whenever you like; one specialist looks after you from first enquiry to the final putt.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in France. The questions our golfers ask most.

How long is LeShuttle crossing time to France

The Eurotunnel LeShuttle from Folkestone to Calais takes about 35 minutes, which makes a self-drive trip genuinely easy for the Northern France golf resorts. Le Touquet, Hardelot and the courses around the Somme are roughly two to three hours on from Calais, so you can load the clubs, drive on and be on the first tee the same day, and on those breaks we can include the crossing in the price. For the south and southwest, such as Biarritz, the Riviera and Provence, most golfers fly into Nice, Marseille, Biarritz or Bordeaux and we arrange transfers on the ground.

How much does a golf holiday in France cost?

Golf holidays in France start from £235 (≈ €275) (≈ $305) (≈ CA$435) (≈ AU$445) (≈ NZ$535) (≈ CHF 255) (≈ kr 2,995) (≈ kr 3,035) (≈ kr 2,045) pp with Golf Planet Holidays. That is a hand-built ground package, and the final price depends on your hotel, the courses you play and the season.

When is the best time to play golf in France?

May, June, September and October are the best months, with comfortable temperatures and courses in peak condition. The south of France stays playable into late autumn.

Where should I play golf in France?

There are more than 700 golf courses in France. As first steps we would recommend Northern France. There are ten great courses here.  Chat with us about the various choices if you wish to venture further afield.

How many golf courses are there in France?

We feature 130 courses and 102 resorts across France including Saint Malo Golf Club and Sept Tours Golf Club. Your specialist matches the courses to your group's standard and budget.

Is it easy to get around in France?

Getting around France is straightforward. Self-driving is the most popular option — if you've come via Le Shuttle, you already have your car. Trains are excellent for city-to-city travel, particularly from Paris to Bordeaux (2 hours on the TGV). Within golf regions like the Algarve or Brittany, a hire car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. We include all airport or station transfers in our packages and can arrange inter-course transfers, so you're never left without options.
