La Foret is a spectacular track, reminiscent of some of the great English inland courses (eg. Wentworth and Sunningdale). It may not be excessively difficult but thick woodland on either side of most fairways, plus quick greens, make it a challenge. I played this course in mid-September and it's extraordinary that it can be in such good condition after a summer of very heavy use. Highly recommended.

Played Le Pins @ Hardelot. La Mer & La Foret @ Le Touquet and Belle Dune over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

I can't find a single fault with any of these courses. It's been about 10 years since we went to Le Touquet last time when I vaguely remember La Mer being magnificent. La Foret was ok then, but has now been brought up to a superb standard as well.

We played the other two courses last year when Belle Dune was magnificent - and still is.

Le Pins was good last year and has now gone up a notch and is top drawer.

An overriding memory of this trip was the speed of the greens. At my club they are quite quick in the summer months, but they are nothing like these. They were so true, but so quick that it made scoring very difficult.

La Mer & Belle Dune are pure links golf and La Foret & Le Pins are parkland. These courses are so consistently good that it's a bit of a wrench to choose to go to a different venue next year.

My score ratings here are for the main Le Touquet course - La Mer.

Played both le touquet courses last week. Le Mer is a real challenge and you have to be on best form to have any hope of playing to handicap. That said it was a great pleasure to play it. Pity that the club house is 10-15 mins walk from the 18th as on a hot day this can be a bit much.

La foret is a good course but a bit easier and if you're playing 36 in a day as we did it is better to play this in the afternoon. The greens were very good (on both courses)and generally the condition of both courses were top notch.

One very minor gripe was the lack of any water fountains around the courses as in hot weather like last week they would be very welcome.

Go and play them you'll have great fun.

Le Touquet La Mer

I played the course last October and loved it. Although there is no clubhouse and the starter was full og Gallic moroseness the course is a joy with springy fairways and fast greens. we were lucky to be playing on a fine still day because this place would be a pig in a strng wind.

Apart from being a stern test of golf you rarely see another hole from whchever tee, fairway or green you are on.

Designed by Harry Colt, who built Sunningdale, anyone playing La Mer will have to be hitting decent shots off the tee. Hook, as I am prone to and you will need as many balls as the guy in the car park can sell you. You might even be buying your own ball back at the end of the round.

Fortunately my ball and I stayed together all round and I shot a 10 over which delighted me. I also throughly enjoyed my lunch at the large clubhouse adjacent to the Forest course. Sufficiently so to be going back to play Le Touquet in May.

La Foret: Played this course late last month and although we had been suffering from a lot of rain my friends and I were very impressed with the condition of the course. The tees were in very good condition as were the fairways with lots of grass and a nicely defined first cut of rough.The greens were in very nice condition although a little slow, all in all a pleasant round of golf in nice surroundings. Not too long a course, on most holes a reasonable drive will allow straightforward second shots, much better than playing so called "championship" courses where even a cracking drive leaves you hitting 4 irons or 5 woods to par 4 greens!! Going back at end of July to play again along with the two Hardelot courses and La Mer also Arras. Report to follow!!!! Have fun.

Played both Le Foret and La Mer in April 2001 - weather was fantastic, but both courses had suffered from torrential rain in the preceding weeks. Greens at Le Foret were atrocious nad only marginally better at La Mer.

Le Foret - pretty woodland course with some testing holes - par 3s in particluar. However, not a long course and reasonably accurate iron play will see the mid-range handicapper around in a sensible score.

La Mer is a totally different ball game - now this really is a golf course! Off the back it's a long way round and when the wind gets up it's a real challenge for even the single-figure guys. Some superb holes and great variety - shame you can only glimpse the sea from one hole. If you're not hitting the ball well, be prepared to stick 3 figures on your card! But if you're in the zone and the sun is shining, this is golf at its most enjoyable.
