Buzzin Golf

Over the past few years there has been a marked increase in amateur golfers heading off to Europe for a weekend of golf whether as a business networking or bonding trip, golf society or simply a few friends using golf as an excuse to get away from the UK.  Spain and Portugal are among the most popular European golf holiday breaks.  The draw of guaranteed sunshine and purpose built golf resorts are perfect for a quiet get away while the UK summer is best described as stop start.

But many golfers seem to forget there are some great courses just across the English Channel.  Golf in France is so often overlooked when planning a European golf trip.  But with delays and strikes frequently disrupting our airports, and Eurostar and the fast track trains from Ebbsfleet International, Stratford International and St. Pancras International stations in the south east, it has made the beautiful French golf courses and towns of Le Touquet and Hardelot more accessible and appealing to golfers looking for golf breaks in Europe.

France has a wealth of golf courses and resorts to cater for every taste and well worth a consideration for your next golf break.

With Paris only two hours away by train UK golfers can now play the beautiful resorts of Dolce Chantily, Golf National and Fontainebleau, or travel to Normandy, Brittany and the Western Loire.  While those wishing to rely on the weather being hot and sunny, the south of France has plenty of resorts offering both golf and beach holidays along its Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean coastline in cities like Biarritz and Bordeaux, while Provence and the Cote d’Azur are ideal for sun-worshippers.

There are great French golf holidays and golf breaks all over France.  Northern France is simple and quick to get to, while Southern France offers more guaranteed sunshine.  While Paris and Central France can offer a city breaks to golfers wanting to include art, culture and food with their golf.  You can even play golf in The Alps region.  The Alps region has become a more popular destination for golf holidays with its beautiful mountain views and clean air, particularly with the advent of the LPGA Evian Masters.

There are always great deals to be found on the internet. For example, 2 nights, bed & breakfast and 3 rounds of golf at Le Manoir Hotel, Le Touquet for just £149 per person.
