Championship at Golf Club Mergelhof

Golf Club Mergelhof's Championship course occupies rolling terrain in the eastern Belgian countryside near Gemmenich, a small village in the province of Liège close to the German and Dutch borders. The course was designed by Bruno Steensels, a Belgian architect known for his work on several layouts in the Benelux region. The property sits in an area characterized by gentle hills and mixed agricultural and wooded landscape typical of this part of the Ardennes foothills.

The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes, with fairways that move through open meadowland and sections bordered by mature trees. The topography creates a variety of stances and approach angles, and the design incorporates both strategic bunkering and natural contours to define playing corridors. Water features appear on several holes, adding tactical considerations for club selection and shot placement.

The course serves as the primary championship layout for the club and hosts regional amateur competitions. Mergelhof's setting in the tri-border area gives it a somewhat international flavor, drawing members and visitors from neighboring countries. The club maintains traditional European golf club customs, with an emphasis on walking the course and a clubhouse that reflects the regional architectural style of the area.
