Golf Holidays in Belgium

Belgium has two main areas of golf interest. Near Bruges in the north (Flanders), you’ll find a cluster of excellent parkland courses within easy reach of the historic city centre — perfect for combining golf with sightseeing. Around Brussels, there are some of Belgium’s most prestigious clubs including Royal Belgian Golf Club. For most visitors, the Bruges area offers the best combination of golf quality, value and tourist attractions. We’ll discuss which area suits your group’s preferences and travel logistics.

Belgium has three official languages: Dutch (Flemish) in the north, French in the south, and German in a small eastern pocket. In Bruges, you’ll hear predominantly Dutch/Flemish; in Brussels, both French and Dutch are widely spoken. English is spoken fluently throughout Belgium — in hotels, golf clubs, restaurants and tourist attractions. You will have absolutely no difficulty communicating in English anywhere you play golf in Belgium. The country’s multilingual culture makes it one of the most visitor-friendly destinations in Europe.

Belgium is part of the Schengen Area, so if you’re travelling from another Schengen country, there are no passport checks at internal borders. However, UK citizens travelling from the UK to Belgium do need to show a valid passport, as the UK is outside the Schengen zone post-Brexit. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. No visa is required for UK citizens for stays under 90 days. Border checks are typically quick and straightforward at Brussels Airport and Eurostar terminals.
