Brasschaat Open Golf and Country Club

Designed in the 70s, Rinkven was definitively established in 1981, its course being on the current site - a beautifully tranquil 'Kempen' field region, located just 15 km from Antwerp.
History
Paul Rolin, renowned Belgian golfer and golf course architect was responsible for the original development of the courses, which during all these years were developed in three stages until their current state of 36 holes. More recently renowned English architect Hawtree has made significant changes to bring both courses up to modern competition standards.
The 2 golf courses
The two courses are a mixture of forest and park, presenting bodies of water on several holes. A variety of starting positions provide a serious challenge for players of all skill levels. The North Course - 6.091m par 72 - is the longer of the two courses, while the South Course - 5.066m par 71 - has a greater variety of holes, requiring the use of all the clubs of the bag.
Training facilities
Rinkven also offers various training facilities. The driving range consists of a large practice on grass and several covered and lighted stations for those wishing to train in the evening. A new short game practice green measuring no less than 1000 m² is available. It is embellished with bunkers and surroundings, just like the greens on the course, to reproduce training conditions as realistic as possible. Another novelty: a narrow strip of 100 m, the pitching green. Two putting greens complete the offer.

Before or after sport, go to the “37th, Tavern behind the Green” for a drink, a snack, a sandwich or a tasty meal. Rinkven offers a new clubhouse and caddyhouse, modern in style. The Rinkven Golf & Country Club is one of the best golf clubs in Belgium!

The Royal Antwerp Golf Club is home to the oldest golf course in Belgium, which dates back to 1888. The club is also one of the oldest on the European continent. It offers an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course a stone's throw from Antwerp.

The 2 courses, the Tom Simpson course (18 holes) and the Dormy House course (9 holes) are located on relatively flat terrain in the heart of the Kapellen woods. A course full of interesting challenges, such as strategically positioned bunkers and narrow fairways between the trees, guarantees you golfing pleasure all year round!

Hole 6 - a PAR 4 of 368 m - has been voted by the prestigious Golf Magazine as one of the 500 most beautiful holes in the world. The course is also popular with many international greenfee players. Stop at the “half way house” to enjoy a soup or a sandwich after hole 9. If you have finished your course, relax in the restaurant or bar, with its magnificent terrace, under the benevolent gaze of the King and Queen. Royal Antwerp, a great classic!

The Ternesse Golf & Country Club has 27 holes in an old estate surrounding a castle, not far from the city of Antwerp.
Magnificent trees and many water features make it unique. Each hole will offer you a unique challenge and experience. The course was completely renovated in 2009.

The 18-hole course is a magnificent and varied parkland course. The many water obstacles have made its reputation. The Executive Course consists of 9 holes, some having been built in the park part, others offering a "links" look. This course is ideal for beginners.

You can then relax in the "Ternesse Golfbistro" with a drink or a snack, in the form of a romantic dinner or a quick business lunch. You will be welcomed in an enchanting setting, under the eaves, with a view of the golf course or, in good weather, on the sun-drenched terrace. Friendliness prevails in this club!
