Le Shuttle, 2 Nights, 2 Rounds
Damme Golf & Country Club sits in the countryside between Bruges and the historic town of Damme, where the course has been shaped to follow the natural contours of the land rather than imposed upon it. Streams wind through the layout, mature poplars frame the fairways, and the open grassland gives the place a quiet, rural feel without being overly manicured.
What it's like to play
The routing makes good use of the water that runs through the property. Several holes ask you to carry or skirt the streams, and the poplars come into play more often than you might expect, particularly when the wind picks up across the flat terrain. It's not a long course by modern standards, but accuracy matters here. The fairways are generous enough to reward a well-struck tee shot, but anything that leaks into the trees can leave you blocked out or scrambling for angles into the green.
Facilities and vibe
The clubhouse and setup feel more like a members' club than a resort course, which suits golfers looking for a relaxed day out rather than a high-pressure championship test. Damme works well as part of a Bruges-based golf break, close enough to the city for an easy morning round before heading back for an afternoon exploring the canals and sampling a decent Belgian beer.
Who is this for?
Golfers staying in or around Bruges who want a convenient, scenic round without travelling far, and groups or couples looking to combine quality golf with easy access to one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities.
Who is it best for?
Mid to high handicappers who appreciate a well-maintained parkland layout with natural character, and anyone planning a short break in Flanders who wants to tick off a round in a peaceful, traditional setting.

The championship course was opened in 1987, having been designed by Dudok Van Keel, and measures 6,592 yards at its full length. The parkland layout is wrapped around a fantastic network of lakes, which represent the predominant hazards as you negotiate the par-72 test.
This woodland gem is the closest course to Bruges itself, and should certainly be involved in a golf break to the charming medieval town.
If you're still mastering golf's subtler techniques, Damme has a nine-hole academy course, which is the perfect place to hone your skills.

A beautiful parkland course with some water and no two holes the same. Staff in the bar/restaurant were very helpful, practice facilities good. The only minor issue was that the greens were a bit slow (certainly much slower than the practice putting green). Overall would certainly recommend the course and the club.

This course keeps you honest, from the start to the finish there are no easy holes so you need to accurate off the tee and get your ball on the right part of the green.

Excellent course and club house facilities, very welcoming and the greens and fairways were superb. Ryder Cup was on in the bar on a big screen, so joyous 19th hole with Leffe on draft and a great array of Belgian beers in the bar. Clubhouse food was also very good, so a great Your Golf Travel recommendation and only about 15 minutes from our hotel.
