GC De Kluize

GC De Kluize is a golf course on the outskirts of Aalst, in the East Flanders province of Belgium. The club was established in 2002 and has since become a destination for golfers of varying skill levels who want to play in a quiet setting away from the bustle of the city.

How big is the course?

The course offers nine holes with a combined par of 62 and a total length of around 3,736 yards. Originally the club had a six-hole layout, but in 2009 it was expanded to a full nine holes, bringing together a wider range of technical elements and difficulties typical of a well-designed course. This expansion means a single round covers a good variety of challenges, from tighter fairways to carefully shaped greens.

What makes this place stand out?

The land surrounding the course is defined by lush greenery and a secluded, almost hidden character — despite being close to Aalst, playing here feels removed from the city. The fairways are well maintained, and the layout was designed to suit players of different abilities, from beginners taking their first swings to more experienced golfers looking for a strategic test.

What facilities are available on site?

The club welcomes visiting players, not only its own members. On the grounds there are practice facilities to warm up before a round, including a driving range and putting greens where players can sharpen their short game. Trolleys are available for rent for those who would rather not carry their own equipment around the course. After the round, a bar and restaurant on site provide a place to relax and go over the game with friends or fellow golfers.

Who is this course suited for?

The nine-hole format means a round at GC De Kluize takes less time than at a standard eighteen-hole course, making it a good option for players who want a game without dedicating an entire day to it. At the same time, the varied terrain and hazards keep the course from feeling simple — it still presents a genuine test of skill for more experienced golfers.
