Where you can play

Royal Waterloo Golf Club from £335pp
The most exclusive course in the area with two splendid courses. La Marache is the championship course and has gently undulating fairways through light woodland. In supreme condition.

Golf Château de la Bawette from £219pp
The golf is set deep within the Brabant Wallon woodlands and valleys and is a stone’s throw away from Wavre. The back nine is quite challenging with water, lots of trees and hilly terrain.
See The Course
Golf du Bercuit from £309pp
This is a stunning course set within a large residential estate. There are some very challenging holes on this impressive course, especially on the hilly back nine. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.

Golf Club de Louvain-La-Neuve from £255pp

The course offers a total change of environment where nature remains undisturbed. There are rolling fairways and undulating greens offering challenges to all levels of golfer.

Golf Club d'Hulencourt from £279pp
An exclusive course set amidst beautiful surroundings and cultivated fields. Its well-earned reputation for quality is evident in the finely maintained fairways. There are a number of obstacles throughout.
See The Course
Golf de Rigenée from £355pp
This is another good course not far from Waterloo. The large bunkers and copious amounts of water make this slightly treacherous, especially when the wind is blowing.
See The Course
Golf La Bruyère from £219pp
The 18 hole course is strewn with ponds and bunkers and is a wonderful way to discover the Brabant countryside. The seemingly easy course hides its challenges and should be played tactically.
See The Course
Golf de Pierpont from £219pp
The 18 hole championship course nestling in open parkland is maintained to the highest standard. There is also a compact 5 hole course which is ideal for the higher handicappers.
See The Course
Golf Château de la Tournette from £239pp
This wonderful venue has two contrasting courses. The American is a more tree-lined and undulating course whereas the English is more like a typical British parkland, quite testing and challenging.
