About this course

North at Rinkven Golf Club occupies parkland terrain in Gravenwezel, a municipality in the Antwerp province of northern Belgium. The course was designed by Baron Paul Rolin, a Belgian aristocrat and early golf course architect active in the first half of the twentieth century. Rolin contributed to several golf developments in Belgium during a period when the sport was establishing itself among the country's upper classes, and his work at Rinkven reflects the parkland design traditions common to continental European courses of that era. The layout moves through wooded sections and open fairways characteristic of the Campine region's sandy soils and mixed forest. Trees frame many holes, and the relatively flat to gently rolling topography allows for straightforward walking. Water features and bunkers provide strategic interest without severe elevation changes. The course serves as one of the layouts at Rinkven, a club that has maintained its facilities for members and visitors over several decades. Rinkven Golf Club operates in a region with a modest but established golf culture, drawing players from Antwerp and surrounding communities. The club offers traditional amenities and maintains the course in keeping with its parkland character. North provides a round that emphasizes accuracy and course management rather than length or dramatic landforms, typical of Belgian inland courses designed in the early to mid-twentieth century.
