Cap Golf Club – Bois de Ruminghem

About the club

The 18-hole natural and flat golf course of Bois de Ruminghem was built by the English golf architect Bill Baker between the forest of Eperlecques and the woods of Ruminghem. The forest of Eperlecques is best known for the V2 bunker built during World War II, which was bombed by the Allied forces. Terrain varies between plain and forest. Very technical course offering a challenge to very good players as well as to beginners. The Bois de Ruminghem golf course consists of two totally different parts. Holes 1 to 10 offer spectacular views of the coast between Calais and Dunkerque on a flat course. The holes from 11 to 18 are wooded and propose to play in the middle of a multitude of old oaks. Your bad shots are punished by the trees, while the fairways next to the course are more forgiving. This requires a different approach to teeing off on the flat fairways and the fairways in the woods. The undulating American style greens are difficult to read, and the English style bunkers make Ruminghem a challenging but very interesting course. If you can play your handicap on this course, then you can play your handicap anywhere.
