Royal Golf Club of Belgium Ravenstein

The Royal Golf Club of Belgium was established in 1906 by King Leopold II and is therefore one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs in Belgium.
On the lands of the Ravenstein estate, it offers an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course in a magnificent botanical garden in Tervuren, not far from Brussels.

The new course welcomes players from handicap 36, where they can polish their technique on a 9-hole course.

The old course is a magnificent classic 18-hole course representing a sporting challenge for players from handicap 20 for men and 24 for women. The fairways weave their way between the different trees, planted in a harmonious way. Well-protected greens and several level differences require precision with every shot.

During the development of the Geographical Arboretum of Tervuren in the early 1900s, different varieties of trees from areas with moderate climates around the world were brought to Belgium. At the express request of the king, these seeds and plants were also used for the landscaping of the golf course.

So today you will come across:

• American silver maple
• Laurel of Portugal
• Canadian poplar
• Himalayan and Chinese pine

This breathtaking nature alone justifies a visit to Ravenstein.

The clubhouse is located in the old castle farm dating from the 19th century. You can have a drink in the bar or enjoy a menu in the restaurant, in the ambience of the time.
