A very good front nine features water and well guarded greens and the second nine, although more predictable, provides welcome relief if you need to rescue your card.

Overall, there are a few opportunities for birdies but it takes a couple of rounds to know when to attack and when to avoid the numerous hazards. Very well maintained, easy walking and the clubhouse and brasserie-style bar are run with panache. Three miles north-west of Arras.
