Royal Bercuit Golf Club
Grez-Doiceau
Royal Bercuit Golf Club is a superb choice for a Belgium golf holiday, especially for golfers who want a peaceful woodland course within easy reach of Brussels. Set in the private Bercuit estate in Grez-Doiceau, Walloon Brabant, the course feels tucked away and exclusive, with pine trees, heather, rhododendrons and gently rolling terrain giving it real character from the first tee.
The 18-hole course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and welcomed its first players in 1967. It is not simply a long, brute-force test. Instead, Bercuit asks golfers to think carefully, with elevation changes, tree-lined holes, strategic angles and several memorable moments across the round. The par-3 fifth is a real standout, playing sharply downhill to a green guarded by water, while the hillier back nine adds plenty of challenge.
For travelling golfers, Royal Bercuit works brilliantly as part of a Brussels or Walloon Brabant golf itinerary. It offers a calm countryside feel, but remains close enough to Brussels for hotels, restaurants, sightseeing and simple airport access. Guest review themes often highlight the course condition, friendly welcome and the quality of the overall experience, which makes it a strong option for groups looking for something polished but not overly obvious.
As part of a Belgium golf holiday, Royal Bercuit pairs well with Royal Waterloo, Royal Golf Club of Belgium and other courses around Brussels and Wallonia. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, creating a smooth Belgium golf break with woodland charm and proper design pedigree.

About The Area
Grez-Doiceau is a quiet, countryside-style base in Walloon Brabant, ideal for golfers who want a slower Belgium break with easy access to Brussels, Wavre and the wider Brabant region. The local tourist office describes the area as a mix of heritage, green landscapes and charming villages, with walking, cycling, cultural and food-led discoveries all part of the appeal.
The big golf draw is Royal Bercuit Golf Club, located directly in Grez-Doiceau. Set within the private Bercuit estate, it offers an 18-hole, par-72 course measuring 5,974 metres, originally designed in 1967 by Robert Trent Jones Sr. The course is known for its wooded setting, five valleys, technical holes and water challenges, so it gives visiting golfers a proper test rather than just an easy knock-about. Facilities include practice areas, putting green, carts and caddy rental, plus a restaurant and large terrace for post-round food and drinks.
Away from golf, Grez-Doiceau has enough local character to make a short break feel worthwhile. Pécrot Pond is a Natura 2000-listed 5-hectare site and one of the attractive marshland spots in the Dyle valley, while Château de Piétrebais-en-Grez adds a historic stop nearby, with medieval origins and Renaissance details.
For UK golfers, Grez-Doiceau works best as a short Belgium golf escape or a smart base within a Brussels/Walloon Brabant itinerary. Brussels Airport is the easiest flight option, with Charleroi also usable depending on fares and routes.
