*Le Foret* – boring and totally overrated
Reviewed December 19, 2023
I simply can't understand how you can rate *le foret* with 5 stars...
80% of the courses are flat, obstacle-free and simply banal. The very wide paths are lined with the last remnants of the forest that once stood here.
Only holes 5,6, 8 and 13 offer something for the ambitious golfer - but not too much. Only track 16 is great, at the very end it gets brutally tight.
greens: good, although about half of them are flat. With the exception of two trees in the middle of the fairway, the large and deep sand bunkers (top sand) are the only obstacles.
Railway descriptions: totally non-existent... but it's less of a problem because you hardly lose track because it's so flat and wide. still it's missing.
green fee 90€ (on foot): simply too expensive for what is on offer. Luckily the place was good, otherwise it would have been tight even for 3 stars.
If you're really looking for a golf challenge in the area, you should book yourself in *La Mer*.
19th hole: Acceptably good restaurant, but the service is at best a moderate level.

*La Mer* – demanding and entertaining
Reviewed August 27, 2023
We played *LA MER* and you have to know that it's a 10 minute/1 km walk from the pro shop to tee 1. and from the 18 back also. so calculate the time.
then you come across a very nice, often difficult and interesting dune course. good shot, very good, undulated and often difficult to play greens. great, large and deep sand bunker with top sand.
It's available for €114 (on foot). what doesn't exist: no toilet (not even at halfway, which doesn't exist either), no water, no lane descriptions. if you don't know the place, you often play into the unknown. Even the tee box markings (white, yellow, etc.) are not visible from a medium distance.
with such, otherwise usual drum-rum (especially with the green fee), the place would certainly be worth 5*. so there's only 4*.
19th hole: quite good restaurant, but with service at best on a moderate level.

La Mer - timeless dream place in top condition
Reviewed May 9, 2022
In the previous reviews everything was actually said about the relevant points.
We found this dream place at the beginning of May 2022 in top condition. The great design usually simulates a simple tee shot. Unfortunately, it often turns out that the pot bunkers are perfectly placed. Excursions into the bushes at the edge of the fairway are i. d R. punished with loss of the ball. The greens also look harmless from a distance, but are often elevated and heavily undulated. In addition, in May quite quickly. In short: a tough test for your own game, even after more than 90 years.
Absolute MUST PLAY.
Tip: via Golfhäftet there was a 2 for 1 green fee again in 2022!

Resort with ancient flair!
Reviewed August 24, 2021
At the end of August with 20 degrees of sun / clouds without rain, we had a "Big Golfday" at Le Touquet Golf Resort!
The clubhouse, ProShop, sanitary rooms, gastro, terrace - all brand new and at its best! Cars with screen and GPS rangefinder. Everywhere the club logo, which for me is one of the most beautiful in Europe!
Le Manoir (9 holes):
Typical ancient training course in the middle of the resort, with par 3 & par 4. “The small inner course” is open to everyone, yet simple but old British design! Wavy fairways and well maintained, ideally suited for a fast round at any time *** stars!
La Forêt (18 holes):
Beautiful and simple 4 opening holes then bring the visitor to a real forest course! Which is absolutely well maintained and is really difficult to play! Here too, ancient design! Raised greens with sweeping bunkers and trees at times in the middle of the approach zone! Anyone who likes old forest classics in pine wood and loves sandy soil is exactly right!
Top Top Top, an extra *** star treat in the setting sun!
La Mer (18 holes):
The classic par excellence! Between thin trees, gorse, solitary pines and streams, one of the best golf courses in France meanders through the Cote de Opal! The fairways are a real masterpiece by the great king of course designers - Harry S. Colt! Rock-hard sandy soil, huge bunkers and such heavily undulating greens that you can walk for a couple of 100 hours. should have spent on links places before visiting Le Touquet la Mer! The most impressive thing for us was the infinitely high quality of course maintenance! Outstanding! The course is still in its original design today! The long journey to the Cote de Opal is 100% worth it!

Tradition in Touque
Reviewed October 5, 2014
The facility of Golf du Touque comprises two 18-hole courses and a short course. We played the championship course "La Mer". Despite the name, you see during the round only once the sea in the distance.
The place was very well maintained and it is to be noted that this system is one of the traditional sites in France. The course is varied, not too long and not an easy task to play by emerging winds. The numerous and strategically placed bunkers do not facilitate the game.
It is positive that one has the impression to really play on a natural place. On artificial lakes was therefore omitted.
