You don’t pick from these — your specialist matches the right courses to your group, books the best tee times, and we drive you to each one and back every day. This is the golf on your doorstep at Mercure Lille Centre Grand Place.

Beyond the golf

Life away from the course at Mercure Lille Centre Grand Place

City on the doorstep

You're staying in the middle of Lille, a couple of hundred metres from the centre of things. Within a fifteen-minute walk the map shows close to 400 restaurants, over 200 bars and a hundred-odd cafes, so nobody in the group eats in the same place twice. Late finishers have a dozen nightlife spots on foot, with Nox Club practically next door and Les Folies just over half a kilometre away. The honest bit: this is a working French city, not a resort, so expect street life and weekend noise rather than pool bars. Tell us who's coming and we'll match the base to your group's evenings.

This is a city-centre hotel in a working French city, not a resort: choose it for evenings out, not for quiet.

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 (≈ €265) (≈ $315) (≈ CA$435) (≈ AU$445) (≈ NZ$535) (≈ CHF 255) (≈ kr 3,005) (≈ kr 2,995) (≈ 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.
