Anzin-Saint-Aubin: Golf, the Scarpe and local history

For a stay in Anzin-Saint-Aubin, golf, green spaces and local history offer different ways to explore the area. Golf d’Arras combines two course lengths with a hilly landscape. Paths follow the Scarpe, while green spaces offer places to walk, run and relax. Several buildings tell stories of different centuries and of the area’s past. You can plan your visit around whichever of these aspects interests you most, based on the specific attractions and landscapes available.

Golf among ponds and rivers

Golf d’Arras has an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course. The two course lengths give you a concrete point of comparison if golf is to be the focus of your trip. The courses lie among ponds and rivers in a hilly landscape. The golf course is located at 1020 Rue Briquet Taillandier, 62223 Anzin-Saint-Aubin. Check the latest course details before you travel if you plan to organize your stay around the golf facilities.

Paths and scenery along the Scarpe

The natural course of the Scarpe runs through Anzin-Saint-Aubin. The Vallée de la Scarpe is characterized by meadows, agricultural land and wetlands. One named route is the Sentier d’Anzin: it follows the golf course and the Scarpe, forming a loop towards Arras or via Marœuil. Alongside paths through green spaces, the river landscape and these named directions offer concrete guidance for planning.

The Coulée verte is a grassy green space with trees and shrubs, criss-crossed by footpaths with benches. The municipal bulletin for July–August 2026 associates its tree-lined paths and open natural areas with walking, running and resting in the shade. Another place to spend time outdoors is the municipal pond, whose surroundings invite people to gather and linger. Parc de la Goutte d’eau offers play facilities and shaded areas; the municipal bulletin for July–August 2026 describes its well-maintained surroundings as suitable for young children.

The wider landscape around the Scarpe offers another perspective. The ZNIEFF “La haute vallée de la Scarpe entre Frévin-Cappelle et Anzin-St-Aubin, le bois de Maroeuil et la vallée du Gy en aval de Gouves” is a valley area of ecological, faunal and floral interest. Tourism and leisure are also among the activities there. The Vallée de la Scarpe corridor extends beyond Anzin-Saint-Aubin and supports environmentally friendly mobility, as well as nature activities such as hiking, fishing and cycling.

Buildings and local history

The Église d’Anzin-Saint-Aubin was consecrated in 1885 and dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. From late 1915 until 1918, the same church served as a hospital for wounded French and then English soldiers. Its history therefore encompasses both its religious dedication and a specific use during the war. Other buildings place local history in earlier centuries: the Château-mairie dates from the 17th century, and the chapel from the 16th century. Together, these dates point to different historical periods without grouping the buildings into a single era.

Cultural activities

The Médiathèque Albert Uderzo offers digital workshops every week as well as events for children. As dates may change, it is advisable to check the current events calendar in advance. Whether you give more weight to golf, outdoor activities or local history, the named courses, green spaces, routes and buildings can help you plan your stay around your interests.
