La Mer Golf Course
Overview

This 18-hole, par-72 course was created in 1931 by Harry Colt and Charles Alison. It stretches for 6,275 yards through coastal dunes, giving golfers a real links-style experience, much like the best courses in Scotland.

Course Layout and Challenges
La Mer Golf Course offers a challenge for golfers with its rolling fairways, deep bunkers, and quick, sloping greens. The coastal winds add an extra twist to each shot.
Some standout holes include the famous par-3 10th, which has a bridge that connects the tee to the green, and the tricky par-4 15th, where golfers face a blind tee shot and a downhill approach to a well-protected green. The par-3 17th features an elevated tee that gives stunning views of the dunes, making club selection tricky due to the changing winds.
These signature holes were beautifully restored in 2015 by designers Patrice Boissonnas and Frank Pont. Helping La Mer maintain its status as one of France’s top links courses.
