The course
Championship Course
- 18 holes
- Par 72
- Length 5,966 m
- Opened 1988
Golfclub Hasselt places its Championship Course in a landscape where water is never an isolated episode. The Demer, streams, ditches and numerous ponds accompany all eighteen holes of the par 72, opened in the late 1980s. Ground is flat and length remains moderate, yet banks, trees and wetlands continually divide the perspectives.

Architecture
The architecture uses water as a continuous structure rather than an occasional feature. Fairways curve between ponds, follow streams or cross ditches, while planting fixes boundaries and creates a more intimate scale. Greens and bunkers introduce the movement absent from the natural ground.
Because raw length does not define the course, variety comes from available width, orientation and the changing presentation of each body of water. The design remains legible for different standards while retaining a clear technical identity as river-plain parkland.
The course in detail
Every hole encounters water in some form, from a narrow stream to a broad pond, giving the course unusual continuity. Local trees, shrubs and seasonal planting soften hydraulic edges and provide varied habitat. Fairways extend across moisture-prone ground maintained to retain clear definition.

History
The Championship Course opened in 1988 under the identity of Flanders Nippon Golf & Business Club, a name long associated with the property. Documentation links the project to Paul Rolin, while some records also cite Alan Rijks for the 1987 design work. The main course was joined by a public nine-hole course, academy and business facilities, creating an unusually open 27-hole complex for the region.
The name Golfclub Hasselt now places the emphasis on the city, sporting activity, junior development and accessible association life.
Club experience
A covered range, putting and chipping greens, academy, hire, shop and BRASS brasserie complete the offer. Walking is easy because relief is limited, although the constant banks require attention to local safety. After play, the terrace brings together the complex’s sporting, social and city-facing character.
Geography and setting
The complex lies east of central Hasselt on the low Demer plain, close to large recreational spaces and landscapes shaped by the river. This position explains the slight relief, frequency of wetlands and abundant vegetation. Urban districts are nearby, but ponds and planting quickly screen them.
The site is distinctly Belgian Limburg: low horizons, water-influenced soils, generous tree growth and an alternation of open areas with more intimate banks. Ease of access therefore does not diminish its character as a green refuge beside the city.
