Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club sits in the River Aa valley, right on the edge of the Regional Natural Park of the Caps and Opal Marsh in northern France. It's the only course in France designed by Dutch golfer Joan Frederik Dudok van Heel and you can feel that valley routing straight away, with holes played on both sides of the slope and big, open views across the marshes.
You've got 27 holes in total. The main event is the championship course, a regular European Challenge Tour venue, plus a shorter academy course that's handy for a loosen-up before your tee time. In my opinion, it's the sort of layout that asks you to think, not just lash driver all day. Expect plenty of elevation change, thoughtful hole variety and a few moments where course management is worth more than brute force.\n\nIt's also ranked among the top 30 courses in Northern France and the location is a big win for a quick break, with Calais an easy drive for UK golfers coming over.
It's a historic town with plenty of architecture, culture and food markets, so you're not stuck in a resort bubble if you fancy a proper French evening out.
Who is this for?
Golfers after a northern France break with proper championship pedigree, quick access from Calais and enough off-course options in Saint-Omer to keep everyone happy.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers and better who enjoy elevation, variety and a course that rewards sensible strategy, plus groups building a short tour across the region.

Le Val is Aa Saint-Omer's showpiece, and is a stunning par-73 layout that will provide a stern challenge for even the most skilled player. Measuring 6,218 yards, Le Val is renowned regionally and nationally for its immaculate condition and is carved beautifully through the woodland of the undulating landscape. As a regular stop on the European Tour and previous host to the French PGA Championship, Saint-Omer is a prestigious venue, and is a certain highlight of any golf holiday in France's Northern area.
“This is a lovely golf course. It is very hilly, but that makes it interesting with your club selection. The greens had just been hollow tined when we played it, but you could tell if they hadn’t been, they would have been pure as.” - Mark Crossfield, PGA Professional

La Haute Drève is the nine hole academy course at Saint-Omer, and is ideal for the higher handicappers or those still learning the game. With a number of lovely holes, the parkland layout adds another dimension to the club, and helps to explain why Aa Saint-Omer is such a favourite with regular golfing visitors to France.

The course is fantastic however a buggy is absolutely needed as the hills get tiring after one round.

We were told by an English local, but this course was going to be in bad condition and not that great. He was completely wrong. Some of the holes were spectacular. I would comfortably play this course every day on the break. It was very hilly and we all took buggies which we all agreed after three previous days Golf, but this was the right idea.

A great course that has interesting holes. One of the toughest holes we found wasn't even top 10 stroke index, yet when we were looking for our lost balls we found many other lost balls. Overall great course that challenges you in other ways than distance Only issue is sometimes distance between holes is greater than the holes themselves. Perhaps yourgolftravel can label courses that suggest there's a lot of walking involved
