Enjoy northern France's finest golf courses with Hoverspeed Holidays' new short break selection 

15 June 2005

Short breaks specialist Hoverspeed Holidays has teamed up with some of Northern France’s finest golf courses and hotels to offer a new selection of one-night packages at fantastic prices.

These special golf deals – bookable for the first time through Hoverspeed Holidays’ own website – start from £93 per person*, including return Channel crossing from Dover to Calais on a Hoverspeed Seacat for a car, one night’s en suite accommodation, continental breakfast and a round of golf.

Package deals include:

· Aa Saint Omer Golf Club – Just a 30-minute drive from Calais, this is one of the most popular clubs on the Cote d’Opale and a firm favourite with British golfers. This challenging course is a European PGA tournament venue and features a 20-metre deep valley dotted with copses and ponds and a steep climb to the 18th hole. Hoverspeed Holidays is offering one-night packages at the four-star Auberge du Moulin de Mombreux, an 18th-Century watermill; the four-star Hotel Chateau Tilques, an imposing 17th-Century chateau; the four-star 19th-Century chateau the Hostellerie des 3 Mousquetaires; and the three-star Hotel de L’Univers Arras, a few minutes’ walk from the lovely town square in Arras.

· The Open Golf Club, Hardelot – Comprising two magnificent courses: The Pines, built in a forest with tricky bunkers; and the challenging Les Dunes, with its lakes, sand dunes and wooded valleys. Hoverspeed Holidays’ one-night packages include a stay at either the Hotel Du Parc Hardelot, a three-star complex a ‘short iron’ from the beach; or the three-star Hotel Clery Boulogne, perched high above the Boulogne countryside.

·  Le Touquet Golf Club – This well-established course, which celebrates its centenary this year, is made up of La Mer and La Foret. La Mer, sculptured within the dunes, has earned a reputation as Le Touquet’s crowning glory. With great views across the Channel, strong winds can make this a challenging course. The pine trees of Le Touquet’s forest provide the setting for La Foret, one of the most popular golfing destinations in France. Hotels featured in Hoverspeed Holidays’ Le Touquet golf packages include the two-star Nouveau Caddy Hotel Le Touquet, the two-star Windsor Hotel and the three-star Bristol Hotel, all of which are close to Le Touquet’s beaches.

· L-Isle Adam Golf Club – Set in the heart of the Oise valleys, this club is just 14km from the centre of Paris. With a 19th-Century farmhouse as a backdrop, the course runs through protected, natural woodland and offers panoramic views across the countryside. Hoverspeed Holidays’ one-night golfing package includes a stay at the four-star Grand Hotel d’Enghien-les-Bains, in the fashionable area of Enghien-les-Bains within five minutes’ walk of the golf club.

Extra nights can be booked at all of the hotels featured in Hoverspeed Holidays’ golfing breaks, with prices starting from just £26 per person*.
