Golf d'Arras
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the two courses at Golf d'Arras - Les Ducs and Les Jardins - distinct, and which should I play?
You'll find Les Ducs is the championship course, offering a more challenging, tree-lined experience with some tricky water hazards that demand precision. Les Jardins, while shorter, is perfect for a warm-up or a more relaxed round, featuring a gentler layout that's still beautifully maintained. We recommend playing Les Ducs for the full Arras challenge, but don't skip Les Jardins if you have time for a second round.
When is the best time of year to visit Golf d'Arras for ideal playing conditions and fewer crowds?
We always suggest visiting in late spring, from May to early June, or early autumn, around September. The weather is typically pleasant and mild then, perfect for golf, and you'll avoid the peak summer tourist rush. The courses are also at their most vibrant, with lush greens in spring or beautiful autumnal colors.
What should I expect regarding green fees and overall value when playing Golf d'Arras?
Golf d'Arras offers excellent value for the quality of golf you receive, especially compared to some of the more famous, pricier courses in France. Green fees are reasonable, typically ranging from 60-90 euros depending on the season and course. You're paying for two well-maintained courses, good facilities, and a genuinely enjoyable experience without breaking the bank.
What's the post-round experience like at Golf d'Arras, particularly the clubhouse and dining options?
The clubhouse at Golf d'Arras is welcoming and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after your round. You'll find a relaxed atmosphere and a good restaurant serving classic French fare, often with local specialties. We always enjoy grabbing a drink on the terrace overlooking the course-it's a lovely spot to reflect on your game.
