36 holes, a good hotel and better food — Belgium's compact size makes it a perfect golf-break destination.
Few countries fit as much golf variety into a weekend as Belgium. In a single trip you can play a windswept course by the North Sea, a century-old royal parkland layout and a forest course in the hills — with Michelin-level food in between.
Three classic itineraries: the coast (Knokke, Damme, De Haan) for links-flavoured golf and seafood; greater Brussels (Tervuren, Waterloo, Nivelles) for historic championship courses; and the Ardennes (Spa, Liège) for dramatic scenery and spa hotels. Each works as a two-day trip from anywhere in Benelux, northern France or western Germany.
Start with the clubs below that have a hotel on site or nearby, or browse golf by region to build your own itinerary. Prefer a ready-made suggestion? Use the form and we'll match dates, region and budget for you.

Two 18-hole rounds is the comfortable classic: arrive Friday evening or Saturday morning, play Saturday and Sunday. Belgium's short distances mean you can combine clubs 20–30 minutes apart without wasting the weekend in the car.
Many do, but weekend tee times for visitors are the first to fill up and some clubs restrict them to afternoons. Book ahead and always confirm the club's visitor policy directly.
It scales with your taste: green fees vary widely per club and season, and accommodation ranges from B&Bs to five-star spa resorts. Booking green fees and hotel together, or travelling off-season, keeps costs down.
