Crayestein Golf

3-star: Good course – an enjoyable test for your game.

Est. 1988

Crayestein Golf: home to the Golfclub de Merwelanden, this tree-lined and open parkland layout enjoys a local following, although is not counted amongst Netherlands top-rated courses. Tucked into five separate areas, the layout is criss-crossed by roads, rail and power lines.

Tight fairways, out-of-bounds on several holes and the threat of water hazards in front of or behind the greens (and sometimes both!), makes for a challenging round ... especially on a first outing. Worth a visit if you have some time to spare and want to work on your game.

Who's Who

Céline Boutier: with many successes as both an amateur and professional golfer, Boutier added a major championship title to her impressive résumé at this year’s Evian Championship.

Alex Cejka: buffeted by rain and high winds, especially on the high-scoring final day, Čejka prevailed over Pádraig Harrington in a playoff at Royal Porthcawl, to scoop the Senior Open Championship title.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

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.
