About The Area
Kortrijk is a smart Flemish city base for golfers who want good Belgian courses, culture and easy travel without staying in one of the busier tourist cities. Set in West Flanders on the River Leie, it works well for a relaxed short break, with historic streets, riverside areas, restaurants and nearby golf all within sensible reach.
The strongest nearby option is Waregem Golf Club, which offers an 18-hole course in the Leiestreek, close to the Flemish Ardennes. The first nine holes sit on the more undulating Karmelberg, with broader views and hillier terrain, while the second nine is flatter but made more technical by several water features. That gives golfers a nice mix of scenery, playability and strategic approach shots.
For stronger course depth, Royal Golf Club Oudenaarde is another excellent option within the wider Kortrijk golf area. The club promotes two quality 18-hole courses set in the romantic landscape of the Flemish Ardennes, with natural water hazards, mature trees, castle-park surroundings and the River Scheldt shaping the setting. Nearby listings also place Golfclub De Palingbeek among the best 18-hole choices in the Kortrijk area, giving the destination enough variety for a short multi-round trip.
Golf around Kortrijk is best from April to October, with late spring and early autumn usually giving the best balance of course condition, comfortable temperatures and quieter tee times.
Off the course, Kortrijk has more charm than many people expect. The Broel Towers are the city’s landmark riverside sight, while the Béguinage dates back to the 13th century and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1998. The city also works well for food, beer, shopping and easy day trips towards Bruges, Ghent, Lille or the Belgian coast.
For golfers seeking accessible Belgian golf, Flemish city atmosphere and a quieter base with strong nearby course options, Kortrijk is a practical and very pleasant choice.
