Pros:
The design/layout of this course is really nice and its fun to play.
It has a perfect flow and plays nice through this community-park.
The holes are challenging with many long-distance-shots, an island, OB's, some water and quite a few really tight tree passages.
You have different tees on many holes which makes it enjoyable for beginners as well.
I really liked the artificial turf tees. Simple but all you need.The "scratch line" ,one large wood truss, has a sign with the number of the hole, the distance and Par. Some tees even have additional signs to offer even more holes.
The differnt baskets are always close enough to the next tee and the last basket is pretty close to the first tee so you can go on and play another round without walking miles.
There are 2 Baskets that are not in use for the course. I dont know if all the baskets are for putting practice or anything but i liked that.

Cons:
For the first time it can be hard to find the tees and baskets due to the fact that there are alt. tees and some tees just have been moved.
The signs at each tee dont give information where to throw or the OB's. These cons are not major though, just bring a map (download it, the Map/sign at the park-entrance doesnt seem to be up-to-date.)
I just had one problem with the course, but it was really crucial refeering to my rating.
The location is nice though its not in "pure nature" and the course fits almost perfect in there but it is a public park and it seemed that it is more than well "used" by dogs.
The park was a bit muddy and there was a bit garbage here and there and i can live with that but the dog-poo was more than "noticeable".

Other Thoughts:
Definitely worth playing. When you come to Brussels you have to play this course. Its just a 30min drive from the centre.
Bring a map with you and maybe some tissues.

Cons:
Tough to figure layout out sometimes, tee boxes seem to have disappeared or been moved around?
Some rather odd and not very exciting holes by the road

Other Thoughts:
Well worth a play if you find yourself in the area. Probably the best all around course in Belgium
