In 2000, the municipality of Koksijde took the initiative to build a new golf course in Koksijde. Studies had shown that there was a need for a fully-fledged golf course on the West Coast of Belgium. More than fourteen years later and after dealing with innumerable administrative procedures, Koksijde Golf ter Hille was finally opened on 21 June 2014.
Koksijde Golf ter Hille fills a gap for golf aficionados on the West Coast of Belgium. Not just amongst local residents, but there are also many potential golf players amongst the tourists and those who have second homes in Koksijde. Until recently, there was no fully-fledged golf course in the region. Golf players therefore needed to go to courses on the East Coast (Royal Ostend Golf Club in De Haan, Wellington Golf in Ostend), further away in the Westhoek, i.e. Maritime Flanders (Palingbeek Ieper and Ieper Open Golf) or even Northern France (Golf de Dunkerque in Bergues).
