History
In 1965, businessman and landowner Baron Frédéric Rolin began planning the construction of the golf course.
Robert Trent Jones agreed to design the course and based on an American concept, the project included an 18 hole golf course and real estate development. Bercuit opened in 1967 and is the only Belgian golf course designed by Jones.
In 2017 the club was granted
Royal status by King
Philippe, an honor bestowed on its 50th anniversary.
