A France golf tour built around both the course and the country

Many France golf tours focus only on the next round. This one starts with the golf, then adds the reason Australian travellers keep returning to northern France: the Western Front, the memorials, the villages, the food, and the people who still remember Australia.

The itinerary begins and ends in Paris and spends most of the journey in France, with Belgium and Switzerland included because they complete the golf and heritage story. It is a golf tour from Australia in the practical sense too: Australian hosts, AUD pricing, clear pre-tour communication, and a group size small enough to be personal.

The Western Front, through Australian eyes
