Bois-Heros at Royal Waterloo Golf Club

The Bois-Heros course at Royal Waterloo Golf Club occupies gently rolling terrain in Ohain, a commune in Walloon Brabant southeast of Brussels. The club itself dates to 1923 and represents one of Belgium's oldest and most established golf institutions, though the Bois-Heros layout is a more recent addition to the property. Martin Hawtree, the British architect known for his work on links courses and parkland designs across Europe, created this routing to complement the club's original La Marache course.

The layout moves through mature woodland and open farmland characteristic of the Brabant countryside. Hawtree's design incorporates the natural elevation changes and tree corridors, with holes that require strategic positioning off the tee and careful approach play into greens protected by traditional bunkering. The course offers a contrast to links-style golf, emphasizing accuracy and course management within a parkland setting.

Royal Waterloo maintains a reputation as a private members' club with a strong competitive tradition in Belgian golf. The club has hosted national championships and serves as a regular venue for regional amateur events. The clubhouse and facilities reflect the club's longstanding place in Belgian golf culture, with dining and social traditions typical of established European private clubs. Bois-Heros provides members with an alternative test to the club's older course, offering variety in both character and challenge within the same property.
