Royal Golf Club du Sart Tilman: this excellent wooded parkland layout, designed by the legendary Tom Simpson, is understandably one of Belgium's most revered courses, and one of its "Royals".

Majestically tree-lined fairways demand accuracy from your tee shots, while your approach shots will also need to be well-placed if you want to stand any chance of getting down in two putts. The greens here are large and fast, often with wickedly sloping contours that will thoroughly test your nerve, not least on those short one metre putts, never mind the longer ones.

This older style championship layout is of a consistently excellent standard, sometimes undulating, other times flatter. Mighty oaks, pines and birch are ever-present alongside the mix of straight and doglegging fairways. This variety of straight-away, gently and more severely doglegging holes, culminates in a testing closing stretch with three par-5s in the final six holes.
