Golfclub Efteling

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1995

Golfclub Efteling: As an additional feature to the nearby eponymous theme park, the Efteling Golfpark provides a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging 18-hole outing.

Most of Donald Steel's excellent layout occupies an expansive and open area, where rippling earth-mounds and plenty of water give definition to the holes. One wonders if the slopes and borrows on the large and excellent quality greens were designed by Steel after a ride on one of the roller-coasters in the theme park.

There is no more difficult hole than the par-5 3rd, where a good-size water ditch runs down the middle of the entire fairway - the fun park just got nasty!

The back-nine, with a much more wooded five-hole loop, allows brief glimpses of one or two of the theme park attractions. The oriental "Fata Morgana" comes into view at the par-3 13th - a hole interestingly bunkered with the footprints of a giant.

Did you know?

The neighbouring Efteling fantasy-themed park, which has grown very substantially since its opening in 1952, is the third most visited theme park in Europe, behind Disneyland Paris, and Europa Park in Germany.

Full of all manner of theme park rides and attractions, Efteling is just the place for the kids (and grown-up kids after their round of golf). If you prefer a nature lesson (in Dutch) on your way round, just read the tee-box markers.
