Westgolf (Alternate Tees) at Westgolf Course

Westgolf in Westende sits along Belgium's North Sea coast in West Flanders, designed by American architect Bob E. Baldock. The course occupies coastal terrain characteristic of this region, where flat to gently rolling land meets the maritime climate of the Belgian shoreline. Baldock, who worked primarily in the mid-to-late twentieth century, brought his design approach to this seaside setting, creating a layout that reflects the challenges of links-adjacent golf in northern Europe.

The alternate tees at Westgolf provide varied playing lengths and angles, allowing the course to accommodate different skill levels and wind conditions that shift frequently in this coastal environment. The routing works across terrain shaped by proximity to the sea, where prevailing winds influence strategy and club selection throughout the round. Natural grasses and vegetation typical of the Belgian coast frame the holes, and the relatively open landscape means wind remains a constant factor in play.

Westgolf serves both members and visitors in a region where golf tourism benefits from the coastal setting and access to nearby beach towns. The course represents one of several golf options in West Flanders, contributing to the area's appeal for golfers combining seaside holidays with rounds on courses shaped by maritime conditions. The alternate tee system extends the course's versatility across seasons and player abilities.
