Royal Golf Club des Fagnes
Spa
Royal Golf Club des Fagnes is one of Belgium’s most elegant and atmospheric golf courses, making it a brilliant choice for a Belgium golf holiday with real character. Set in Spa, in the Belgian Ardennes, the course sits within a peaceful wooded landscape, giving golfers a calm, traditional setting just a short distance from the famous spa town.
The course was designed by Tom Simpson and officially opened in 1930, giving it strong architectural pedigree. The 18-hole layout plays to par 72 and measures around 5,928 metres, winding through mature forest, natural heathland and gentle undulations. It is not about brute force. This is a thoughtful course where accuracy, positioning and a tidy short game matter, especially around the well-defended greens.
For travelling golfers, Royal Golf Club des Fagnes offers a lovely mix of challenge and relaxation. Wide fairways, tree-lined holes and the quiet Ardennes setting make the round feel peaceful, but there is still enough strategy to keep stronger players fully engaged. Spa itself adds extra holiday appeal, with wellness hotels, restaurants, countryside walks and the nearby Spa-Francorchamps area offering plenty away from the course.
As part of a Belgium golf holiday, Royal Golf Club des Fagnes pairs well with courses around Liège, Wallonia and Brussels. Hashtag Golf Travel can help arrange the right flights, hotels, transfers and tee times, creating a smooth Belgium golf break with heritage, scenery and proper golfing charm.

About The Area
Al Zorah is a standout choice for a UAE golf holiday if your group wants winter sun, luxury resort surroundings and a quieter alternative to staying in central Dubai. Set in Ajman, around mangroves, lagoons and white-sand beaches, it gives golfers a more peaceful coastal feel while still keeping Dubai and Sharjah within easy reach.
For golf, the main draw is Al Zorah Golf & Yacht Club, an 18-hole championship course designed by Nicklaus Design and managed by Troon Golf. The course sits within protected mangroves, which gives it a very different look and feel from many desert golf courses in the UAE. Expect wide fairways, water, natural tidal areas and a layout that feels scenic rather than artificial. For groups wanting quality golf with a relaxed luxury feel, this is one of the UAE’s most interesting options.
Away from the course, Al Zorah works brilliantly for a slower, more premium golf break. We would recommend time at the beach, kayaking through the mangroves, a spa day, waterfront dining, or a trip into Ajman for souqs, museums and the Corniche. Al Zorah City also includes a championship golf course, beach resort, wellbeing resort, natural mangrove reserve and restaurants, so it suits couples and mixed groups as well as serious golfers.
Our tip: choose Al Zorah if your group wants a UAE golf holiday with sunshine, luxury, nature and easy access to Dubai without the full city pace.
