Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the overall golf experience like in Brussels, considering there are only two courses?

Don't expect a sprawling golf destination, but the two courses near Brussels offer a surprisingly good escape from the city buzz. You'll find well-maintained tracks that provide a pleasant round, perfect for a day trip from the city center. It's more about quality over quantity here.

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Brussels?

We highly recommend visiting from late spring through early autumn, typically May to September. The weather is generally mild and agreeable then, ensuring comfortable playing conditions and lush fairways. Avoid the colder, wetter winter months when courses can be less enjoyable.

How do the two courses near Brussels compare, and which one should I prioritize playing?

While both are excellent, Royal Waterloo Golf Club offers a more prestigious, championship feel with its three distinct loops, while Golf Club de Sept Fontaines provides a beautiful, slightly more relaxed parkland experience. If you only have time for one, Royal Waterloo's La Marache course is a must-play for its challenge and history. Sept Fontaines is a fantastic second option if you have more time.

What should I expect regarding green fees and booking a tee time in the Brussels area?

Green fees are comparable to other major European cities, typically ranging from €80-€120, depending on the course and time of day. We always advise booking your tee times well in advance, especially for weekend play, as both courses are popular with locals and visitors alike. Don't just show up expecting to walk on.

Is it easy to combine a golf trip with exploring Brussels' city attractions?

Absolutely, that's one of the best parts about golfing here! Both courses are conveniently located just a short drive from the city center, making it incredibly easy to enjoy a morning round and still have plenty of time for sightseeing, museums, or indulging in some Belgian chocolate and beer in the afternoon. It's a perfect blend of sport and culture.
