Golf d’Hulencourt is rated as one of Belgium’s finest golf courses and is ideally located just 30 minutes south of Brussels. Built on historic grounds that date back to 930 AD, the club prides itself on maintaining the highest level of golfing tradition and elegance, combined with a true sporting challenge.

Le Vallon is a Championship course and is set in gently undulating and peaceful countryside. Designed by French architect, Jean-Manuel Rossi, 25 years ago, this challenging “inland links”course’ has established itself as a fair but tough test and is considered one of the best conditioned courses in Belgium, widely renowned for its true, smooth and fast greens. Although a certain amount of power is necessary to master the 6800 yards of Golf d’Hulencourt, it is more good course management and judgement of the wind that helps to produce good scores, as the rough is extremely dense, and the slick greens are subtle and require good reading. The club is also home to the Jerome Theunis Golf Academy, where many of Belgian’s top golfers train.

Train Station LILLOIS 3km from the club with connections to Brussels.
