Les dunes is the younger of hardelot's two courses, and despite being about a kilometer away from the genius tom simpson-designed les pins course, it is by no means inferior.

Les dunes, designed by belgian paul rolin, opened for play in 1990 and is nestled amid the sand dunes of mount saint frieux on undulating terrain.

For a few blind drives and some doglegs, knowing your way around the dunes course is advantageous, and you'll almost certainly clock a higher score the second time around.

Hardelot is a popular location, particularly among visitors from the united kingdom who travel across (or under) the channel for a change of scenery, especially in the winter.
