Course Overview
The Soudal Open is played at Rinkven International Golf Club in Schilde, Belgium — a highly regarded private members’ club on the outskirts of Antwerp in the Flemish countryside. The course plays to approximately 7,100 yards at par 71 through a classic northern European parkland setting, with mature hardwood trees lining the fairways and the cool, variable conditions typical of Belgian spring golf in May.
Rinkven International GC features Bermuda fairways and Bentgrass greens, and the May Belgian conditions can range from warm and sunny to cool and breezy, making adaptability an important quality across the week. The club has hosted numerous significant professional events on both the DP World Tour and Challenge Tour circuit and is well-regarded for the quality and consistency of its playing surfaces.
What to Look For
The Belgian spring conditions create variable playing environments that reward adaptable ball-strikers who can manage different wind directions and strengths across four rounds. Bentgrass putting performance on the fast greens and approach play into the tree-lined green complexes are the key statistical indicators. The Soudal Open draws a competitive DP World Tour field at this popular Belgian stop.
