Golf de Bondues
Lille
Located just north of Lille near the Belgian border, Golf de Bondues is one of the region’s most established and respected golf clubs. Set within mature parkland, it offers a traditional golfing experience with two distinct 18-hole courses — the Hawtree Course and the Trent Jones Course — providing variety across multiple rounds.
The Hawtree Course is the more classic of the two, featuring tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering and a layout that rewards accuracy and thoughtful course management. The Trent Jones Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., offers a slightly more modern challenge, with wider fairways, water hazards and a greater emphasis on approach play into well-protected greens.
Both courses are known for their consistent conditioning and well-maintained greens, delivering a high-quality playing experience throughout the year. The variety between the two layouts makes Bondues particularly appealing for golf breaks, allowing golfers to experience different styles without leaving the venue.
Its location close to Lille makes it easily accessible, whether travelling from within France, Belgium or the UK. Combined with strong facilities and a welcoming club atmosphere, it’s a great choice for both short breaks and longer golf trips in northern France.

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.
