About this course
The South Course at Rinkven Golf Club occupies parkland terrain in Gravenwezel, a municipality in the Antwerp province of northern Belgium. Baron Paul Rolin, a Belgian aristocrat and amateur golf architect active in the early-to-mid twentieth century, designed the layout. Rolin contributed to several Belgian courses during a period when the sport was establishing itself among the country's upper classes, and his work at Rinkven reflects the parkland design principles common to continental European golf of that era. The course unfolds through mature woodland and open meadow, with tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes typical of the Flemish landscape. The routing takes advantage of natural contours and existing vegetation, creating a traditional parkland experience where accuracy and course management matter more than raw distance. Holes move through corridors of oak and beech, and the property's established character gives the layout a settled, unhurried feel. Rinkven Golf Club has served as a private members' club for decades, hosting regional amateur competitions and maintaining a reputation within Belgian golf circles. The South Course operates alongside other facilities at the club, and the overall property reflects the club's long tenure in the Antwerp area. The course offers a straightforward test of golf in a quiet, wooded setting, representative of the parkland tradition that took root in Belgium during the sport's early growth on the continent.
