Our take

For golfers who care who designed what, Royal Golf Club du Hainaut is the one: a Tom Simpson original of tree-lined fairways and big fast greens, with the newer Les Etangs nine adding dog-legs and water.

Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in Belgium — answers to the questions our golfers ask most.

Which area of Belgium is best for golfers?

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.

What language do they speak in Belgium?

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.

Do I need to go through a passport check when entering Belgium?

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.

Are flights included?

Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.

How do golf holidays with Golf Planet Holidays work?

Every trip is hand-built. Tell us your group, dates and the destinations you fancy, and we build a personal itinerary — hotel, golf and transfers — around them. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into; we shape the whole break to suit how your group likes to play.

How much does a golf holiday cost?

It depends on the destination, hotel, dates and how many rounds you want, so every quote is built individually. Many breaks start in the mid-hundreds per person; winter-sun and long-haul trips cost more. Get a free, no-obligation quote and we'll confirm your figure.
