Domburgsche
Domburgsche Golfclub: Genuine seaside links golf courses are few and far between in continental Europe. Located on the "former" island of Walcheren in the mouth of the River Scheldt estuary, the 9-hole Domburgsche should certainly be included in any list of "true" links golf courses.
Established in 1914, this classic seaside links shelters down behind a line of sand dunes. A few of the tee-boxes and greens provide views onto a spectacular beach and across the North Sea. Although World War II took its toll on the course at that time, several bomb craters dotted around the course were opportunely converted into grass bunkers, and are still much in evidence today.
The greens here are generally fast and maintained in good condition, thanks to both the greenkeepers and the mixed weather – a lot of sun, a little rain and plenty of salty air carried along on those North Sea breezes.
Given the natural drainage of the dunes, this popular and pleasantly challenging course remains playable throughout the year. Originally designed by golf professional E.C. "Charles" Warren, in the early-1900s Domburgsche provided a unique golfing opportunity for both local residents and the many tourists who visited the area. ... as it still does to this day!
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Players generally walk this course.
During the Second World War the Domburgsche suffered considerably from naval bombardment. The course was brought back into play in 1955. Today, the course is not just characterised by rolling fairways and bunkers, but also by many grass bunkers ... originally craters from the wartime shelling.
Netherlands' 17th best course (Golf World, 2022).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
