About this course

Avernas Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside of Wallonia near the village of Avernas-le-Bauduin, roughly midway between Liège and Namur in Belgium's French-speaking region. The course was designed by Martin Hawtree, the English architect known for his naturalistic approach to links and parkland layouts across Europe. Hawtree's work typically emphasizes strategic variety and integration with existing landscape features, and Avernas reflects this philosophy within its agricultural setting. The routing moves through gently undulating terrain characteristic of the Hesbaye region, an area known for fertile farmland and open vistas. The design incorporates mature trees and natural contours to define playing corridors and create visual interest across the property. Hawtree's layouts often reward thoughtful course management over pure length, with green complexes and bunkering that encourage players to consider angles and ground game options. Avernas serves as a regional facility for golfers in the Liège province, offering a parkland experience distinct from Belgium's more famous coastal links. The club operates within the broader Belgian golf community, which has grown steadily since the late twentieth century as the sport expanded beyond its traditional strongholds in Flanders and the Ardennes. The course provides a relatively accessible option for both members and visitors exploring golf in Wallonia's central corridor.

Getting there

The journey to Avernas Golf Club begins at Brussels Airport (BRU), roughly an hour's drive southeast into the gently rolling farmland of Wallonia's Hesbaye region. The route traces the E40 motorway before peeling off into the quieter provincial roads of Liège, where the landscape softens into a patchwork of wheat fields and modest villages. As you approach Avernas-le-Bauduin, the final kilometers wind through unhurried countryside, the kind of pastoral Belgium that exists well beyond the bustle of the capital - a fitting prelude to one of the country's most serene and understated golfing retreats.
