About The Area
Genval is a lovely choice for a relaxed Belgium golf break, especially if you want somewhere with a bit more charm than a standard city hotel base. Set around Lake Genval, just south-east of Brussels, the area has a peaceful, leafy feel, with waterside restaurants, country walks and leisure activities such as sailing and canoeing. It works well for couples, small groups or golfers who want a slower-paced stay with Brussels still within easy reach.
The standout stay is Martin’s Château du Lac, a 5-star lakeside hotel in Genval with spa and wellness facilities, making it a strong base for a more comfortable golf holiday. It gives the area a resort-style feel without being a purpose-built golf resort, which is handy for mixed groups where not everyone wants to play every day.
For golf, Genval is well placed for several strong Walloon Brabant courses. Royal Waterloo Golf Club in nearby Lasne offers two 18-hole courses and a 9-hole course, while Golf du Château de la Bawette in Wavre has an 18-hole par-72 parkland course with mature trees, ponds, hills and woodland. Both are good options for building a short-break itinerary around Genval.
For UK golfers, Genval suits a short Belgium escape, a Brussels-area golf weekend, or a quieter stop within a wider Belgium itinerary. It is close to Brussels Airport, has Charleroi as a useful alternative, and offers that nice mix of golf, lakeside scenery and easy city access.
