Cromstrijen
Golfclub Cromstrijen: Located in the province of Zuid-Holland, where the mighty River Maas (Rhine) flows into the North Sea, Cromstrijen is a layout dating from 1989, and one that exudes a modern parkland feel.
The environment here is relatively flat, although gentle earth mounding confers some good definition and contouring to the holes. The principal hazard on this relatively compact layout is water in the form of ponds and ditches.
Added to the perils of water, a significant amount of fairway and greenside bunkering also threatens on many holes. If you are locked in a closely fought match play or just trying to finish off a good scoring round, take great care at the excellent par-5 18th, a "sting-in-the-tail" hole that combines trees, sand and water hazards to excellent effect.
A modern wind turbine, rather than a quaint old Dutch windmill, stands alongside the course, though not too intrusively. The proximity of the A29 motorway impacts the noise level on a few of the holes.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and Saturdays, and on Sundays after 1pm.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

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.
