About the Course
Pern's design concept aims to recreate earlier polder-type wetlands and historic Flemish landscapes. Isolating the golf course from the underlying water table using impermeable membranes has been a significant part of the construction process. About two thirds of the earthworks have been used specifically for environmental protection measures.
