In the heart of the Pévèle countryside in Romanesque Flanders, bordered by the Phalempin national forest, the Thumeries-Moncheaux Golf Club offers golfers peace and serenity just 30 minutes from Lille and 20 minutes from Douai.
Golf history
The Thumeries-Moncheaux golf course was created in 1932 in the Lensois mining area. The initiative does not come from the fortunes of the coal mines, but from that of the Béghin brothers, the kings of sugar. The 9 holes built by the Englishman Percy Boomer are private, reserved for family, friends and customers of the sugar refinery.
Golf, a beautiful inland course, lived in this way until the 70s, when the family dispersed to the detriment of golf. Open to as many people as possible, the club reacted at the end of the 80s by deciding to expand the field.
Jean-Manuel Rossi takes matters into his own hands and delivers 18 holes in September 1991. Of course, the contrast is noticeable between the “Boomer” and the “Rossi” but twenty years after the extension, everyone is satisfied with the design.
The course
The Thumeries golf course deploys its greens and fairways over 5994 meters to offer an 18 hole, Par 72, harmonious, rather flat, with beautiful greens. Also, a few water features on the return will spice up your game and thwart some risky approaches such as hole 11 and 15. Its slope of 139 is by no means a coincidence. Indeed, this course has to be earned with a few long dog-leg par 4s. In the morning mists while the dew makes the greens iridescent, the lights filtered through the branches of the old oaks are a delight for all early risers likely to come across a deer at the edge of Lenglart wood.
Training infrastructure
The Thumeries-Moncheaux Golf Club has 3 training areas:
Putting green and pitching green at clubhouse level
Practice: 12 outdoor mats and 6 covered mats, 1 driver's platform, 1 bunker
School holes: a mini-course with 3 flags, 4 greens and 1 bunker
The Golf Lille Métropole opened in 1998 in Ronchin, a French commune in the Nord department, in the Hauts-de-France region.

Thus, the Lille Métropole golf course will delight all golfers, from beginners to professional players.
The two courses are of a very different architecture, the first of the Links type, the second course, called academic, is more wooded and hilly. Everyone will find their pleasure and the variety of strokes that golf can offer us.

The Golf de Brigode is one of the major golf courses in the Lille metropolitan area. Its journey is the work of Harold Baker. Relatively flat, wooded with hundred-year-old trees, the 18-hole Brigade is calm and deploys its greens and fairways in a pleasant environment.
It is a true haven of tranquility a stone's throw from Lille. Built over forty years ago on the former property of the Comte de Montalembert, it has evolved remarkably over the years.
The Brigode golf course is accessible to non-members only during the week. You will be able to appreciate a sumptuous course there, in a framework of greenery and unequaled silence, except perhaps the noise of some wild geese or green parakeets ...
Close to Dunkirk and the beaches of the Opal Coast, the 27-hole Dunkirk Grand Littoral golf course is located 45km from Calais and 70km from Lille. In the shade of the ramparts of Fort Vallières built by Vauban in the 9th century, the three 350-hole golf courses cover some XNUMX hectares in the heart of the countryside and the canals of Flanders.
The courses of the BlueGreen Golf of Dunkirk Grand Littoral:
Vallières course
9 holes- par 35- 2966m
The 9-hole course of Vallières is remarkable for the omnipresence of frontal and lateral water enclosing the fairways, leaving beautiful points of view on the countryside of Flanders.
Vauban course
18 holes- par 72- 6577m
The 18-hole course takes its name from the architect Vauban commissioned by Louis XIV to build a citadel in these places, watching over the Flemish borders of the kingdom of France. Thus the route follows the deep drops and geometric mounds of the old fortifications, with raised greens and bunkers, high green walls and spectacular water obstacles: such is the great originality of the Dunkirk golf course.
For your training, the Bluegreen golf course in Dunkirk Grand Littoral is equipped with:
Practice area
Putting green
Pitching greens
Training bunker
A compact course with several training holes
The Sart golf course is the oldest of Lille golf courses. It is characterized by its century-old course and a family and friendly atmosphere.
A century-old journey
The first 9 holes of the Sart golf course date from 1910. They were created around the castle of the Count of Waziers. Twenty-five years later, they were rolling out greens and fairways for 18 holes, on the course across the street.
Today, the route stretches in an arboretum where more than 70 different species grow: Leyland cypress, rowan trees, orange cox apple trees ...
Do not be fooled by appearances: although it may seem easy at first glance, the course requires great precision, with its narrow fairways, its greens with several plateaus and its two water hazards.
The curiosity of the place lies in its dovecote, located at the entrance and classified in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments.
It is therefore part of Heritage Days!

18-hole par 71 course of 5724m for men and 4918m for women.

The rebirth of a golf course
Abandoned for more than ten years Cap Golf Club is a golf course in full renaissance thanks to the association for the work of the disabled Cap Energie.
A few months without maintenance were enough to make the Ruminghem golf course a wasteland given over to wild boars. And a few months were enough for Cap Énergie and its gardeners to redo greens, fairways and bunkers worthy of the name.
In the process, golf has changed its economic model. It is now one of the branches of activity of the Cap Énergie association which, in Pas-de-Calais, Oise and Somme, is dedicated to the professional integration of the disabled.
A very beautiful story for a very nice golf course.
The course
18 holes - Par 73 - 6115 m - Architect Bill Baker - Created in 1992
The natural and flat 18-hole Bois de Ruminghem golf course was built by the English golf architect Bill Baker in 1992 between the forest of Eperlecques and the woods of Ruminghem. The forest of d'Eperecques is best known for the V2 bunker built during WWII, which was bombed by Allied forces.
Land varying between plain and forest. Very technical course offering a challenge to very good players as well as to beginners. The Bois de Ruminghem golf course consists of two completely different parts. Holes 1 to 10 offer spectacular views of the coast between Calais and Dunkirk on a plain course.
Holes from 11 to 18 are wooded and offer to play in the middle of a multitude of old oaks. The rolling greens are difficult to read, and the English style of the bunkers make Ruminghem a difficult but very interesting course.
If you can play your handicap on this golf course then you can play your handicap anywhere.

The Hawtree and the Trent Jones occupy nearly 110 hectares on the Domaine de la Vigne.

The Trent Jones
18 holes - Par 72 - 5470 meters
If Hawtree worked mainly in Europe, Trent Jones father (American architect), precursor of the "Target Golf", designed in the US and around the world. He made the first 9 holes in Bondues in 1967. In 1990, having more members, finances, and hectares, the golf course wanted to build the last 9 holes. Trent Jones senior no longer travelling, it was his son who completed the course. The whole forms a rather wide 18-hole course, but well defended by water obstacles and ubiquitous bunkers.
The Hawtree
18 holes - Par 73 - 6201 meters
Fred Hawtree (British architect) realized Bondues after St Nom la Bretèche, one of the first French creations associating a new course with a real estate operation. The plantations are the work of Russel Page, landscape designer, also British. The course is quite long and narrow, well sheltered, with large plateau greens well defended by bunkers. The design of the holes is very varied and very appreciated by the members.
