Millennium (Championship)

Business partners Manfred Dohmen and Theo Aerts were the driving force behind the construction of the Millennium golf complex in the late 1990s and they built the course on the site of what was once an old peat bog in the province of Limburg.

Laid out on a largely flat and open landscape, with only a few isolated stands of oak and beech trees dotted around the property, the eighteen fairways at Millennium have been expertly routed around Lake Paalse, with its shimmering waters assimilated into the design at holes 3, 7, 8 and 9 on the front nine and at the opening and closing hole of the back nine.

The Millennium golf course measures almost 7,000 yards from the back markers and it’s been used by the Belgian PGA to test its professionals a number of times in recent years, most notably when the PGA Masters event was held here in 2011.

Ably supported by the 9-hole “Compact” course, 6-hole “Bambini” layout and a two-tier driving range, the Championship course at Millennium is the main component of a modern, progressive golf facility which appears to have all the necessary attributes for it to become one of the nation’s top tracks.
