You’d struggle to name any Belgian golfers, though if given a while to ponder the question you may come up with Nicolas Vanhootegem. This is surprising in a relatively small country littered with golf courses. Though even with the Royal Zoute Golf Club near Bruges being voted the best course in Europe 1992/93, golf in Belgium is simply not a popular pastime. However, like all Continental European destinations the profile of the game in Belgium is being raised by an influx of ‘golf tourists’. Considered to be the top course in Belgium is the Royal Golf Course of Belgium, a challenging parkland course with magical surroundings. The fairways and greens are maintained to an exceptionally high standard and the clubhouse has the presence befitting this converted Chateaux. The course is lined with trees and well worth a visit in early June when the full beauty can be appreciated as the rhododendrons bloom. If you have the luxury of a car for your trip it is worth venturing down to Wallonia. For the accomplished golfer the best challenge can be found at the Golf Club de Pierpoint. An inland links course it offers a fabulous challenge off the back tees when the wind picks up and is a huge credit to the sport of golf in Belgium.
