Chantilly golf holidays

The Eurotunnel Le Shuttle crossing from Folkestone to Calais takes approximately 35 minutes — one of the quickest ways to reach continental Europe. This makes Northern France, and Le Touquet in particular, one of the most convenient golf destinations from the UK. The total journey from London to Le Touquet is under 2.5 hours door to door. Trains run frequently and you can take your car, making it a seamless experience for golfers who prefer driving to their destination.

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.

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.

France is a superb destination for golf groups and societies. The variety of courses — from links at Le Touquet to parkland in the Loire Valley to clifftop courses in Brittany — gives you genuine choice. French resorts are experienced hosting golf groups, and the combination of excellent golf, great food and fine wine makes for an outstanding social trip. We specialise in French golf tours for groups of all sizes and can design a multi-course itinerary with accommodation, transfers and tee times arranged end to end.

Most good golf courses in France have buggies available, though it varies by venue. Le Touquet's championship courses offer buggies; in Brittany and Normandy, availability depends on the specific course. We always check buggy availability when booking your tee times and confirm in advance. If buggy access is essential for your group — whether for accessibility reasons or preference — just let us know and we'll ensure your selected courses can accommodate you. France's gentler courses can often be walked comfortably.

France offers excellent value for golf, particularly compared to the UK. Green fees at top courses like Le Touquet range from €70–130, while many excellent regional courses charge €40–80. Accommodation, food and wine are generally very good value by British standards — particularly outside Paris. A short break combining two to three rounds of golf, quality accommodation and wonderful food typically costs less in France than equivalent quality in Southern England. Northern France is especially competitive on price given its proximity to the UK.
