Presentation
Designed in 1938 by Tom Simpson on the heights of the Principality of Liège, this course is a quality challenge. In 2019 Leaving Course ranked Le Royal Golf Club du Sart Tilman in 1st place all criteria combined.
Of all the Belgian courses that Tom Simpson has designed, it is perhaps that of Sart-Tilman, officially inaugurated in 1939, of which he was the most proud. The Liège course is, it is true, a pure wonder. This is all the more remarkable given that the famous British architect, also author of the Spa and Ravenstein courses, had to deal with a hostile natural environment and deal with a limited budget. At the cost of deforestation of nearly twenty hectares of trees, the removal of fourteen thousand stumps and the addition of five thousand cubic meters of earth, the challenge was nevertheless taken up. And in what way… The creation of a golf course in the Cité Ardente responded, in truth, to a real demand.
Faithful to his great concepts, Simpson draws, with his magic pencil, two loops of nine holes which each return to the Club House. The English architect lets himself be guided by his inspirations, multiplies the “doglegs”, composes with nature and plays with trees.
But the Sart-Tilman is also a few terrible par 4s (holes n ° 5 and 11, in particular), superb par 3 (hole n ° 2 sets the tone from the start and n ° 10 is one most difficult) and the famous hole n ° 14, a par 5 of more than 500 meters whose green is protected by a double water obstacle and three bunkers!

Nestled in the heart of the estate, close to the greens of holes 9 and 18, the putting green and the tee of hole 10, the Clubhouse marks the minds of visitors. Since the Club was set up on the heights of Sart Tilman, members were welcomed in a building covered with a thatched roof, with an inimitable character. The original architect was inspired by the Eindhoven Golf Clubhouse built in the 30s. Its authenticity, dear to the members, was also its Achilles heel. In March 2011, when renovations had started, a fire ravaged the majestic Clubhouse and the thatched roof left no chance at the then Clubhouse. This tragic twist of fate was to plunge the Board of Directors into deep reflection. Reconstruct identically or from a blank page? The second option was favored. Fruit of the work of the Archi 2000 office, the new building was inaugurated at the opening of the 2014 season. It stands proudly on the site of the old Clubhouse, but its base has been reoriented and its volume significantly increased. Its modernity contrasts radically with the old building but nevertheless has all the amenities one would expect from a modern Clubhouse, namely:
- A useful surface of 1.550m².
- A 680m² terrace.
- Ladies / men changing rooms offering easy access to showers, sinks, toilets as well as personal boxes for members.
- Meeting room.
- A desk.
- A lounge area with television.
- A restaurant that can accommodate 220 people (expandable to 380 with the terraces).
However, even if the modern exterior aspect has been favored, the warm welcome of the place will undoubtedly remind you of what you may have known in the past. At the time of the 19rd hole, lively debates around the bar will bring together guests and members around the same idea: conviviality.
