Golf du Mont Garni is just a few minutes north west of Mons and, in my opinion, it's one of the region's better-value rounds for a Belgium golf break. The club is welcoming, the setting is mature and leafy and the course gives you that classic parkland feel where shaping shots and picking sensible targets tends to beat simply swinging harder.
Out on the course you'll find tree-lined fairways, gently rolling ground and enough change of direction to keep things interesting for mixed-ability groups. Miss the fairway and you will have to think your way back into position, but it's not a brutal, ball-losing slog. If you enjoy plotting your way round, you'll like it here. The greens are typically a strong point and when they're running true it becomes a really satisfying test of distance control.
The clubhouse keeps things relaxed and straightforward, which works well for societies and tour groups who want a smooth day without any stuffiness. It's also a handy option logistically, whether you're staying around Mons or building a wider Belgium itinerary with a couple of rounds in easy reach.
Who is this for?
Groups and societies wanting a friendly parkland course near Mons, couples after a low-hassle golf break and anyone looking to add variety to a Belgium golf tour.
Who is it best for?
Mid to low handicappers who enjoy strategic, tree-lined layouts and golfers who value good conditioning over hype.
