Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of golf experience can I expect at Golf Club Steenpoel - is it a tough track or more relaxed?
We found Steenpoel to be a surprisingly engaging test, especially with its clever use of elevation changes and tight fairways. It's not a monster in terms of length, but you'll need precision off the tee and a good short game to score well here. It's a course that rewards thoughtful play over brute strength.
When is the best time of year to play Steenpoel for optimal conditions?
For the best experience, we recommend visiting Steenpoel from late spring through early autumn, typically May to September. The course is beautifully maintained during these months, and you'll enjoy comfortable temperatures perfect for a round. Avoid the wetter winter months if you prefer firmer fairways and less muddy conditions.

You'll find a friendly bar and a simple, good restaurant perfect for a post-round meal or a refreshing Belgian beer. It's a great place to soak in some authentic local golf culture.
Is Golf Club Steenpoel a good option for a day trip from Brussels, and what should I budget?
Absolutely, Steenpoel is incredibly convenient for a day trip from Brussels, just a short drive away.

Expect to pay around €50-€70 for 18 holes, depending on the day and season.
Are there any specific holes or features at Steenpoel that really stand out or require a unique strategy?
Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th hole; it's a real beauty with a challenging downhill shot over water that demands accuracy. The course also features some tricky doglegs where smart club selection, rather than just power, will save your score. You'll need to think your way around here.
