Why Take a Self Drive Golf Holiday in Northern France?
Northern France offers some of the best golfing holidays and
experiences in the world. From luxurious hotels to
immaculate courses, the region is overflowing with
opportunities for avid golfers, especially if you want to
travel to more than one of the great courses on offer. We
look at some of the reasons to take a self drive golf
holiday to Northern France, and the many advantages this
type of holiday brings...
Speed
One of the main reasons to go on a self drive golf holiday
to Northern France is the various speeds with which you can
get there. If you decide to, you can take a long cruise
across the channel, taking in the coasts of Britain and
France and enjoying the trip to the full. However, if like
most of us you can't wait to be out on the fairway, you can
take the Eurotunnel. At 35 minutes from Folkstone to Calais,
you can be at your destination less than an hour after you
depart (depending on relative distances). This also means
that with some careful planning you can take a half day, be
on the course by the afternoon, spend the evening at the
clubhouse or local hotel and then be back at work the next
day.
Flexibility
Another great reason for taking your car on a golf holiday
in France is the flexibility it offers you. Taking your own
car means less time worrying about the minutiae of how you
get to the course and more time on the course itself.
Taking your car also gives you more flexibility when it
comes to accommodation; not waiting for a taxi, chauffer or
transfer means you can stay in the hotel of your choice, be
it linked with the clubhouse, in the next town, or even a
boutique hotel further into the Normandy countryside. It
also makes your French golf holiday more tailored to your
needs - if you want to get to the course earlier or leave a
little later; you are in control with your own car.
Choice of courses
Taking your own car has another added benefit on a golf
holiday in France, that of choice of courses to play on.
While you obviously choose which course you want to play on,
if you want to play on more than one over the period of your
golf holiday, a car is invaluable. Booking the tee time of
your choice at several of Northern France's gorgeous and
prestigious golf courses presents a problem unless you can
actually get there, and being autonomous with your own
transport makes this much easier.
Taking a self-drive golf holiday in Northern France gives
you the flexibility, choice and luxury you deserve on your
holidays. It also provides you with the control over where
you go, at what time, and for how long as opposed to being
at the mercy of deadlines and leaving times from shuttles
and hotel taxis.
