The Belle Dune Golf course is ranked amongst France's finest top ten courses and was awarded with the prize of No1 in the Picardie region.

Designes by Jean-Marie Rossi, the 18-hole, 5883m (6464 yards) course blends in perfectly with the finest duneland and bird sanctories in Europe, making it a worthy counterpart of the great British and Irish links courses whilst also retaining a woodland effect as it passes by a vast pine forest and lake area.

Like most links courses, keeping the ball low is the key to a good score.
