Les Dunes Top, les Pin Flop
Reviewed May 5, 2025
We played Les Dunes on May 2nd. The green fee of €113 is quite a price, but the course was worth it in every respect. Great tees, well-mowed fairways, well-raked bunkers, and fantastic, fast greens. Beautiful views of the course are always present. Great, we'll be back. This course, Les Dunes, is in line with the one at Le Touquet la Mer.
On May 3,2025, we played Les Pin with great anticipation and were so disappointed that I don't even know how to give it a star rating. For the same green fee of 113 euros per person, we found a course that, compared to other French courses, would have been worth no more than 60-65 euros. The tees were significantly worse, the bunkers were only raked along the sole and not along the sides (like at Dunes). The fairway grass was significantly worse. The greens were OK, but not as fast as at Dunes. On the paths between the holes, you have to be careful where you step to avoid twisting your ankles. The clubhouse at Les Pin somehow didn't match the apparently high standard that was desired, and even less so at Les Dunes. A look in the restroom showed a clear difference. We really felt ripped off.

Hardelot des Dunes
Reviewed July 29, 2024
Beautiful golf course, which despite the name has little (actually nothing) to do with a links course apart from the sandy ground. Only the undulating fairways suggest the subsoil and the dune origin. Overall a challenging, if not very long (even from the white only 5300m) course with six par 3s (par 70). The holes are varied, and knowledge of the course helps in some places. The condition was really excellent, the greens immaculate, fast and difficult without being unfair. So an all-round great golfing experience, which was only slightly spoiled by the initially rather unfriendly catering staff. Even if Les Pins has the edge for me, Les Dunes is worth a round.

Great facility, challenging course
Reviewed September 7, 2023
Les Pines is a really great golf course that can be played sportily from white (three par4s >400m long). Due to the narrowness of the holes (especially on the first 9), I used the driver for the first time on hole #13 (and then on #15,16 and 18). The layout in the middle of the pine forests and the surroundings with the mostly very beautiful villas and holiday homes makes the complex special. The par3s in particular are very picturesque and well defended with bunkers, but the longer holes also offer spectacular perspectives, especially from the white tees. The condition of the greens, which were also freshly sanded, was sad. The gastronomy is limited, but incredibly courteous and hospitable. A beautiful golfing experience on a special course.

Hardelot 5 stars!
Reviewed August 27, 2021
The resort with villas in the thick pine forest has a good pro shop on the Pines Course and gastronomy on the Dunes Course. The two places are 3 minutes by car from each other.
Les Pines:
After the redesign, the old Tom Simpson Course is an absolute top spot.
The difficult course has great "fringed bunkers" and an infinite number of pine trees that are repeatedly included in the game. Les Pines is said to be the best place on the Côte de Opal. For us it was a clear 5-star course, but the greens that are too slow let it rank behind Le Touquet La Mer! Still a top place!
Les Dunes:
Paul Rolin's second resort course from 1988 was also completely redesigned two years ago. Even the first run uphill was extremely beautiful. What followed was a design fireworks display in the closed pine forest where now and then luxury villas peeked through (not disturbing). The Dunes Course plays uphill and downhill and developed completely unexpectedly on the 18-hole round to our No. 1 on the Côte de Opal! Sensational and spectacular!

Les Pines: well-groomed but boring
Reviewed July 26, 2021
The course runs between pine trees, which are lined with older villas. The landscape is not unattractive and very quiet. The fairways are slightly wavy, but easily accessible on foot. Greens and fairways make a very well-kept impression. It is relatively easy to see that the tracks are very similar and there is hardly any change. There are no water hazards whatsoever. In the high season in July there were hardly any other golfers to be found; very leisurely and stress-free. The infrastructure makes a somewhat neglected impression. The restaurant was closed, if you want to have a drink or something to eat after the round, you have to drive to the clubhouse of the Dunes Course.

Pleasant golf courses in built dune landscape
Reviewed June 16, 2019
The golf courses Les Pines and Dunes are located in the village of Hardelot, surrounded by sand dunes and residential buildings, which does not seem disturbing. The courses are good for all handicap classes and also good to walk.
