L'Empereur, le Golf au Bout du Monde Est. 1989

Laid out over a large and relatively open tract of what was formerly rural farmland, "the Emperor" is a course that suits bigger hitters, who will often find a safe landing for errant drives. However, complete immunity is not guaranteed for wayward shots. OB lurks dangerously on one side of many holes, water occasionally comes into play (very much so at the short par-4 10th), and there are several elevated greens to hit - not least the super-elevated green at the par-4 13th. Tactical planning from the tee will not go amiss, even if the invitingly good-width fairways invariably result in a decision to give it a whang with the driver. Although many trees have been planted, their time is yet to come in terms of seriously impacting your game. The standard of upkeep is usually good at Empereur, with large and sloping greens requiring a great putting touch to get down in two. Off the very back tees at 7400 yards this is a course that can provide one of the toughest tests for your game in Belgium, especially if their is a bit of breeze blowing.
