Golf d'Arras, Golf course in Anzin-Saint-Aubin, France.
Golf d'Arras is a 27-hole course in Anzin-Saint-Aubin, near Arras, designed by architect Jean-Claude Cornillot. Its two layouts are La Vallée, 18 holes over 6,117 metres at par 72, and Les Aubépines, 9 holes over 1,710 metres at par 31. A training area stands beside the two courses. On the course, a narrow water hazard and a sand bunker with a light tan surface cut across the lawn, with a hedge and gravel path at the lower edge.
The Association Sportive Arras Golf inaugurated the course on 24 June 1990. Gervais Martel owned it from 1994 to 2012; Didier Lignier took over in 2015, and the Arras commercial court ordered liquidation and closure on 20 March 2015. Philippe Delecroix and Éric Norel bought the estate that April through Golf Invest Arras. After a new liquidation in early 2024, Isabelle and Sylvain Gambier, owners of Le Fairway Hôtel & Spa on the site, took it over and reopened it on 3 June 2024.
The Ladies French Open was held on the La Vallée course in 1996 and every year from 2000 to 2009, eleven editions in all. Trish Johnson set the course record of 62, ten under par, in 1996. In 2010 the event was renamed the Open de France Féminin and moved to the Paris International Golf Club. In September 2020 the course hosted the Défi numéro 2, which drew a large field of titled players.
The course lies in Anzin-Saint-Aubin, near Arras in the Pas-de-Calais. Since reopening on 3 June 2024, work has been carried out on the course, the practice area and the car parks. Golfers choose between La Vallée, 18 holes over 6,117 metres (par 72), and Les Aubépines, 9 holes over 1,710 metres (par 31).
Le Fairway Hôtel & Spa stands on the golf grounds; Isabelle and Sylvain Gambier, who already owned it, took over the course in early 2024 after its judicial liquidation. Their purchase brought the course and the hotel under one economic and tourist project, and the site reopened on 3 June 2024.
