Royal Golf Club de Belgique Ravenstein
Golf is an outdoor sport where player as an individual or from varied teams strike a ball targeting a hole using various clubs. The two basic forms of playing golf are match play and stroke play. Golf is played on a tract of land known as the course which consists of a series of holes or cups. Most golf courses usually consist of nine or eighteen holes. There are several types of golf courses namely Parkland, Links, Healthland, Desert, Browns, Sand, Snow, Par3 and Executive.
The Royal Golf Club de Belgique Ravenstein offers exciting and recreational golf courses namely the Old Course and the New Course. The Old Course was built long back in 1905 and built by a renowned architecture Tom Simpson. This course features 18 holes all together and is a Par 72. Measuring 6,600 yards, the Old Course has a slope gradient of 130 and extends through the lush, botanical parkland surroundings of the Chateau de Ravenstein estate. The park’s impressive oaks, cedars, elms, weeping willows, cherry trees and rhododendrons provide a very appealing setting which would almost conceal the course itself.
The New Course of the Royal Club on the other hand was built by the renowned architect Mackenzie Ross in 1951. This course covers 4,178 yards of land and features a Par 64, 9 total holes and a slope gradient of 105.
