20 km E of Utrecht
From the A12 motorway (Utrecht - Arnhem) take exit 22 (Maarsbergen / Woudenberg) and follow direction Woudenberg. After o.3 km cross railway line. After 1.6 km turn left into Anderstein Golf Club.
Golfclub Anderstein: The appearance of nine new holes in 2004, added to an original 18-hole layout dating from 1986, laid the foundations for a much better overall golfing challenge here at Anderstein.
Today's Vallei-nine (A) comprises nine of the original 18-holes holes, mainly laid out on flattish terrain ( ... with no real valley to speak of!). Water is a constant companion on these holes, taking the form of ditches and small lakes, and requiring plenty of straight hitting from the tee.
The Heuvelrug-nine (B) and Heide-nine (C) both comprise a mix of some holes from the original course (mainly tight and wooded) and several much more open holes crafted during the 2004 expansion. These new holes were equally shared between the B and C nines, and arguably represent the best section of the 27-hole layout. Their greens, aprons and fairways were a substantial improvement over those of the "old" course.
Pick of the holes: the par-5 7th on the B-course, shows how the old and new parts of the revised layout were melded together. From the tee-box to 200 metres out, you play the "new" half of this hole, with water threatening anything hit too far right from the tee. From midway to the green a reworking of an "old" hole takes over, with its tree-lined dog-leg leading you into the green.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and Saturdays; no visitors on Sundays.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

The "Utrechtse Heuvelrug" is a ridge of low sandhills that runs between the cities of Utrecht and Amersfoort, extending several kilometres to the north-west and south-east. Anderstein lies on the east edge of this tract of sandy terrain. The names of the three nines at Anderstein translate as follows: Heuvelrug (hilly ridge); Heide (grass pasture); Vallei (valley).
Also to be found in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug area, are other renowned Dutch inland courses, including Hilversumsche to the north, Lage Vuursche, the mighty Utrechtse "De Pan" and Hoge Kleij.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
