The current courses of Le Touquet, Hardelot or Wimereux are between 90, and 120 years old for Wimereux. 

They are survivors of a turbulent history. Because all the courses did not survive. In Hardelot, a first 9-hole golf course was completed in 1906 by Tom Vardon near the Hardelot castle and “Lac des Mirroirs”. This 9-hole disappeared during the 1st World War. It left the place, in 1931, to the current course of Les Pins to a Half mile of there. In Wimereux, the first golf course appeared in 1900 and disappeared, too. The current course will be completed in 1907. 

On the side of Le Touquet, the course of La Forêt dates from 1904. It is the 3rd oldest course in France. Le Touquet-Paris Plage was even, before a temporary decline, one of the largest golf centers in the world, with 45 holes, before the 2nd World War. Because this world conflict has cruelly hit this part of France and its golf courses have not escaped. The Germans were convinced that the landing of the Allied Forces would take place on the Opal Coast, very close to Great Britain. These seaside courses, designed in the dune cord and in the sandy pine forest more sheltered from the wind, were impacted by the bombing or by military activities of the German army.
