Architecture
Tom Simpson built the course around gentle contours, trees and classical lines rather than isolated visual effects.
The course in detail
Sandy subsoil and forest cover determine the appearance of the land. Undulation is moderate but continuous, with shelves, shallow hollows and slopes that gradually alter each perspective. Heather, ferns and drier grasses emerge in open areas, while pines and deciduous trees frame the corridors.
This combination creates a heath-like texture within the forest itself and generally provides a more freely draining surface than many parkland courses in the Ardennes region.

History
The course was inaugurated in 1930 as Spa strengthened its position as an international destination for leisure and travel. Choosing Tom Simpson immediately placed the club among a notable group of continental courses by the British architect. Belgian Opens and other important events were subsequently staged here, building its sporting reputation.
The royal title, Spa-style clubhouse and continuity of the property now maintain that link between heritage and an active contemporary club.
Club experience
A range, short-game areas, academy and professional shop support the course. After golf, the characteristic Spa-style clubhouse brings together changing rooms, bar, restaurant and terrace in an atmosphere that feels warm rather than monumental. Nearby Spa offers hotels, thermal baths and architectural heritage, allowing the course to form part of a broader stay in eastern Belgium instead of remaining only a sporting stop.
Geography and setting
The club stands on wooded high ground above Spa in eastern Belgium, close to the broad plateau of the High Fens. The spa town, Ardennes valleys and hills leading towards the German border form its regional setting. Yet the course quickly becomes secluded behind its woodland edges.
Long forest avenues, filtered light and heath-like openings create a calm landscape distinct from the Belle Époque streets and resort activity found only minutes below.
