Geography & setting
The estate is located in Villers-la-Ville, in an open agricultural landscape gradually transformed by the plantings. Ponds, roughs, groves, and long rural vistas characterize the terrain.
History
Golf de Rigenée was founded in 1981-1982 by Caroline and Emmanuel Descampe on a former agricultural estate in Walloon Brabant. Paul Rolin designed the course, whose eighteen holes were quickly put into play. More than thirty thousand trees were planted in the 1980s to structure the fairways and isolate the site.
