La Bruyere
La Bruyère Golf Club: Situated on the edge of Belgium's Brabant and Hainaut regions, La Bruyère Golf Club is laid out around the Château de la Ferme de la Bruyère, which was itself part of the famous Villers-la-Ville Abbey (see Did You Know section below). The Chateau is now home to the club's pleasant clubhouse.
Surrounded by quiet, rolling, arable countryside, this rather open, easy-going layout stretches out over the gently undulating, former farmland. Good-width, lightly bunkered fairways lead you to subtly sloping greens, which are defended by shallow bunkering.
The par-4 5th and par-4 10th holes uniquely bring water into play, with small ponds guarding the approach to the putting surface.
Not an overly dramatic nor challenging layout, but one that will allow you to hone your skills, before taking on some of the more demanding layouts in the scenic and historic Brabant Walloon province of Belgium. The club also has a 9-hole pitch and putt course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. Closed Mondays.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.

Located just 6 kms from Golf la Bruyere is the spectacular ruin of a large Cistercian abbey, the Abbaye de Villers. It is located just north of the town of Villers-la-Ville, founded in 1146 and largely built during the 13th century.
The abbey started to decline in the 16th century, when Spanish military invaders to the Low Countries did considerable damage to the church and cloister, both of which were partially restored in 1587. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the number of monks and the abbey's wealth dwindled and it was finally abandoned in 1796 during the French Revolution.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
