Le Val makes full use of the rolling ground above the Aa valley, with the shape of the land continually affecting the way a hole is played and wide views opening out across the countryside. It is the 18-hole course at Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club and asks for sound judgement as much as clean striking, particularly when the terrain brings changes in lie and elevation into play. The club also hosts an annual Open Challenge Tour event, a useful indication of the standard expected from the main course. Alongside it, La Haute Drève provides a technical nine-hole round that remains approachable for players of every standard, making it a good option for an arrival day, a second round or some focused practice.
The adjoining Aa Saint-Omer Hôtel du Golf sits at the foot of the course, so the change from final putt to shower and a drink is pleasingly straightforward. Its 54 rooms and suites look towards either the fairways or the surrounding forest. Le Ristandèl, the clubhouse brasserie, serves regional dishes and lighter snacks with panoramic views across the golf, while the bar is the natural place to settle after a round. A sauna, whirlpool bath and available body or facial treatments provide an easy way to loosen up between games. Four electric-car charging points are available in the golf car park, useful for those travelling through Hauts de France by car.
