Ieper Open Golf - The Roadhole

Ieper Travel Blog › entry 29 of 286 › view all entries

I have now been working more than 3 years in the lovely city of Brussels and I have the last 18 months had the fortune of living here full time. One of the first things I have become to understand is why expats don't want to leave again. When I arrived I had a goal of walking the streets of Brussels and driving the roads of Belgium. One of my goals here is to visit all large cities in Belgium and afterwards know a lot about Belgium.

When I stayed in Ieper I went to Ieper Open Golf. It was not for playing but just to hit some balls at the driving range. The golfcourse is a small very straight 9 hole. When I was there is was absolutely frezzing cold with minus 5 degrees celcius and with 5 cm snow everywhere. It was cold yes but also fun.

Their pro seemed very good and very friendly and he was clearly from Scotland - I think so because the guy was wearing a hat with a Scottish flagg on and with an accent like that I dont think he was faking.

Their clubhouse was old but friendly with a big bar in the midle where you could get some of the usual beers but also some of the locals which always are recommendable to taste.

Ieper Open Golf is open to every beginning or more experienced golfer. The 9 holes course is a haven of peace and quiet amidst the busy industries of Ieper. The course has been integrated perfectly in the surrounding environment. Numerous obstacles, tactically laid-out, do provide some challenges. The club also has a covered driving range, lit at night. A wooden chalet-style loghouse is home to the bar and club house.

I've been to Iper several times. Not the Golf Course though, the Battle Fields. Another Nice Town in Belgium.
