Le Touquet Golf Club has strong historical links to British golf, with both La Forêt and La Mer originally designed by British architects. La Mer, designed by Harry Colt and opened in 1931, is the club’s championship course and was developed on coastal dunes following plans made in the late 1920s. The course was damaged during the Second World War and later restored, with more recent work carried out to reflect Colt’s original design.

La Mer is a traditional links layout, set among dunes and natural grasses in the Pas-de-Calais region. Exposed conditions, firm fairways and strategic bunkering define the challenge, with wind often playing a key role. For those planning a golf break in northern France, it remains one of the country’s leading links courses.
