A real treat for both experienced and less experienced golfers. Highly recommended is Golf du Ch\u00e2teau de la Tournette, one of the most highly regarded clubs in Belgium. The clubhouse is housed in a magnificent, luxurious castle dating back to the 16th century. This unique location offers various possibilities for organising a business gathering in style. The business aspect can be concluded with a relaxed golf clinic, and afterwards guests can enjoy a bite to eat and a drink in the excellent restaurant or on the terrace with its breathtaking view.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Location tip<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your team as an F1 driver!
