Where2Golf says:
Bay Point Resort Golf Club (Nicklaus course): Just across St Andrews Bay from Panama City, you'll find Bay Point Resort and two top-quality and contrasting championship golf courses - the parkland elegance of the tree-lined Meadow course is overshadowed by the usually higher-rated and more expansively roaming Nicklaus course - revamped by the Golden Bear stable in 2005, this out-and-back layout weaves its way through a community of large and discreetly set back housing - the Nicklaus certainly delivers variety, both on and beyond the course - a more tree-lined mid-section on the back-nine (especially at the par-4 12th and par-4 13th) contrasts with the bayside and more condo-flanked front-nine - the Nicklaus's par-4 1st and par-3 2nd signal that small lakes and ponds will frequently threaten on this wonderfully crafted, ever-varied and ever-challenging layout - the par-4 4th and 5th holes steal the scenic honours - both are played alongside the Grand Lagoon where it connects into St Andrews Bay, and offer spectacular bayside views - the signature 5th is a testing short par-4 with a double carry over wetlands, from tee-to-fairway and fairway-to-green - large and often seriously undulating greens are defended by a stylish array of bunkers, both small and large, as well as considerable mounding - like many other holes, the long par-5 9th offers plenty of space from the tee, but also a blind drive, up and over a small ridge - a layout typically characterised by excellent upkeep, variety, challenge and great Nicklaus design work.

Koksijde Golf ter Hille Golf Club: on what was previously open farmland, an enjoyable and challenging links-style layout has been crafted. Perhaps the inspiration for Koksijde's new course came from a renowned Harry Colt layout that existed in the 1920s just a couple of kilometres to the west. Read more... |
The Duke Golf Club: represents the latest in a trio of private courses to arrive on the Dutch golfing scene. All prefixed by the definite article, The Dutch (2010, designer Colin Montgomerie) and The International (2012, Ian Woosnam) have now been joined by The Duke, which firmly targets a business clientele and the corporate golf market. Read more... |
Drentse Golfclub De Gelpenberg: as the oldest golf course in the Dutch province of Drenthe, De Gelpenberg offers a partly-wooded and partly-open heathland layout, guaranteed to test all facets of your game. It is arguably the best of the country's more northerly layouts, together with Lauswolt (50 km away to the north-west). Read more... |
Golfbaan Stippelberg: located 25 kilometres north-east of Eindhoven, this relatively new addition to championship golf in the Netherlands has fast become one of the country's "must play" courses. |
