A look at some Paris and Pas-de-Calais courses - now up Golf de Belle Dune

[John Mayhugh]

The 3rd with two trees right in front of a bunker in front of the green. The angles on the 8th: drive to the right and there is a small dune in the landing zone. Drive to the left and there is ample room, but a large dune blocking your approach. The 13th with the tree in the abyss to keep longhitters honest.

Thanks for the reply.  I guess I don't see any of these as real innovative ideas.  As an overall approach, I do think Belle Dune is unique.  But I think two of the items you listed are mistakes that detract from the design.

John,


I agree with you.  Belle Dune has some good and fun holes, but it also has some poor holes.  It is a fun golfing experience, but do not skip playing one of the other courses to play here.  There restaurant is very good, one of the best cheddar burgers ever!
The good news is if they let the course be modified and if they could use more of the dunes land, it could become a wonderful course!
