What Golf d'Hardelot does

Golf d'Hardelot is a two-course golf resort located in the seaside resort of Hardelot-Plage, Pas-de-Calais, in northern France. Operated by the private simplified joint-stock company SAS DES GOLFS D'HARDELOT under the Resonance Golf Collection network (formerly Open Golf Club, rebranded March 2022) and managed within the Cofigolf group, the property comprises two 18-hole courses: Les Pins, a 1934 Tom Simpson design ranked in Golf World's TOP 100 Best Courses in Continental Europe, and Les Dunes, a 1991 modern layout with lakes, dune mounds, and wooded valleys. The club serves individual golfers, corporate clients, beginners, and group bookings, with a headcount of at least 16 dedicated to course maintenance.

The business spans multiple revenue streams: transactional green fees booked through the Resonance Golf Collection online platform (booking.resonance.golf), recurring memberships including the EVASION Passport (€69/year) and Opal Coast Golf Pass (€336), corporate seminars and team-building events priced from €59/person with a dedicated Sales and Event Manager, restaurant and F&B operations (Restaurant des Dunes year-round, Club House des Pins seasonally), pro shop and equipment rental, golf instruction (Golf Découverte workshops at €39, junior programs, PRO-led performance coaching), and gift vouchers (€100–€200). Course maintenance is ecologically oriented, supported by a €400,000 irrigation investment, hydrometric soil-moisture probes, and a FFGolf Silver Biodiversity Label.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with online booking, social media presence, email newsletters, blog content, on-property competitions (Les Afters d'Hardelot, Resonance Golf Ecology Trophy), and B2B outreach through a dedicated sales manager. Distribution is amplified through the Resonance Golf Collection network of 10+ premium French courses, the European Tour Destinations/TPC international alliance, partner hotels (Manoir Hôtel, Le Régina, Najeti Hôtel du Parc, Château de la Bégude), and a three-year Lacoste partnership announced in April 2025.
