Golf & Hotel de Pierpont opened in 1992 and has built a solid reputation in the Waterloo area for golfers who want quality golf without a long transfer. You're around 15 minutes from Waterloo and Brussels South Charleroi Airport, which makes it handy for a quick long weekend, a society trip or a work trip with a round (or two) bolted on. Brussels is roughly 35 minutes away, so it's also an easy base if part of the group wants a bit of city time after golf.
I like venues like this because everything is simple: stay on site, walk to the first tee and finish the day in the clubhouse without needing taxis or complicated logistics. The on-site hotel (refurbished in 2016) has 20 rooms, plus a clubhouse bar and terrace for the post-round Belgian beer. The restaurant serves an international menu, which tends to suit mixed groups where not everyone wants the same thing.
The course itself sits on gently rolling terrain and asks for accuracy rather than just power, with bunkering and water coming into play often enough to keep you honest. It's the sort of track where a sensible line off the tee and a putter that behaves can save you a lot of shots. If you're the type who enjoys plotting your way round, you'll have plenty to think about, especially when the wind gets up.
Who is this for?
Golfers looking for an easy Belgium golf break near Waterloo, with on-site accommodation and quick access from Brussels South Charleroi Airport.
Who is it best for?
