Royal Zoute Golf Club, Zoute

Royal Zoute Golf Club is undoubtedly one of the best links courses in continental Europe, and was designed by the great Harry Colt. Built over a hundred years ago, the course at first does not look too tough. But, when the wind picks up, hitting the fairways is paramount and negotiating the fast greens is another story. The course meanders through dunes and silver birches and has earned tributes from the likes of Palmer and Faldo. 13 miles north of Bruges.
