Where2Golf says:
Kungsbacka Golfklubb (Gamla/Old course): Short par-3s open and close proceedings on the Gamla Banan (Old course); in between is a real pot pourri of golf experience. Until the par-4 5th things are pleasantly parkland, but nothing too remarkable. The wind usually freshens at the par-5 6th as you head towards the sea, which can be glimpsed from the tee. From the 6th through to the 11th the terrain remains flat and offers picturesque views along an inlet and out to sea. Things change dramatically at the par-3 13th, where a hilly journey ensues through a craggy and rocky landscape, with the requirement to hit tee shots with pin-point accuracy. Course management combined with local knowledge will assist the building of a good score, so don't expect to set the course record on your first outing (and with a membership that includes Fredrik Jacobsen and Sophie Gustafson, you may be hard pushed to do it on your second or third visit !). Kungsbacka is a very busy golf course and often difficult to get a tee-time - but well worth it if you can.

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. Read more... |
Drentse Golfclub De Gelpenberg: as the oldest golf course in the Dutch province of Drenthe, De Gelpenberg offers a partly-wooded and partly-open heathland layout, guaranteed to test all facets of your game. It is arguably the best of the country's more northerly layouts, together with Lauswolt (50 km away to the north-west). Read more... |
Golfbaan Stippelberg: located 25 kilometres north-east of Eindhoven, this relatively new addition to championship golf in the Netherlands has fast become one of the country's "must play" courses. |
