Golf de Wimereux

Links golf on the Opal Coast of northern France

4.0 of 5 starsReviewed October 6, 2025

Played on October 4,2025: The 18-hole course (par 72) with driving range is located approximately 35 km (30 minutes' drive) south of Calais, separated from the sea only by a coastal road, on the outskirts of the pleasant town of Wimereux. Many holes offer excellent views of the sea. The course could certainly be described as a links course. There are few trees and almost no real water hazards, just a few small, dry streams. However, there are some pot bunkers. The course is particularly tough in windy conditions. We played the course in gusts of up to 90 km/h (56 mph) and had a real struggle. You're exposed to the wind practically everywhere. There's relatively little rough, and the fairways are open. Most holes run straight. Interestingly, some wartime bunkers have been incorporated into the course. The white tees were even created on two of them. The greens were in perfect condition. Unfortunately, the fairways had a few bare patches. There were many places where animals had dug their holes, and one or two tee shots could have been better. Play on a sunny, but as mentioned, very windy Saturday morning was not overcrowded. We teed off around 10 a.m. in pairs and didn't arrive until the 18th. Tee times can be viewed on the website, but cannot be booked without a French membership number. However, this is possible via the GolfNow app. We paid €90 for the round, which isn't cheap, but it's reasonable. The staff in the small pro shop in the pleasant clubhouse were friendly. The clubhouse is dominated by the restaurant. We had an excellent meal there after our round. The restaurant is considered one of the best in the area. The value for money is highly recommended. Even some non-golfers dine there. If you're in the area, a round of links golf in Wimereux is highly recommended.
