Golfclub Witbos

Golfclub Witbos is a club in the Antwerp province situated in the Campine belt northeast of the city, where heathland and Scots pine woodland give the landscape its distinctive character. The name Witbos — meaning white woodland in Dutch — evokes the birch-and-pine scenery that frames the course and gives it an immediately recognisable identity. Clubs of this type in the Kempen serve a loyal local membership and provide a relaxed environment away from the more prestigious establishments closer to the city. The sandy Campine soil drains well, making the course playable through much of the Belgian winter, an advantage that members in this part of Flanders have long appreciated.
