Where2Golf says:
Queenwood Golf Club: Queenwood is a private club, enjoyed by its small and exclusive membership and their invited guests. The following description comes courtesy of David McLay-Kidd, the course's Scottish-born designer: the site is tranquil parkland, in an area well known for its classic courses, including Sunningdale, Walton Heath, Woking, Swinley Forest, and more. Queenwood returns to the heathland traditions of the courses noted above, all of which have stood the test of time. Heather is a key design element at Queenwood, employed both for its strategic and aesthetic values, most notably on the bunker faces. They are pretty to look at but brutal to escape when a ball holds up in the heather. The routing optimizes the full site, zigging and zagging, constantly changing direction and exploring the relatively open landscape, which gives the course an expansive feel. The putting greens are easily the toughest and fastest I have ever built.

| 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.
