HOLLAND
Click on a link or any area of the map you wish to visit for your next golf break, golfing holiday or golf tour:
The United Kingdom and Ireland and rightly considered to be the ultimate in links golf terms, but continental Europe is blessed with some serious seaside golf. This is primarily due to the European excursions of course architects from the UK, and the Netherlands was among the most fortunate beneficiaries. With a string of mind-blowing links courses along its North Sea shore, why not venture further afield for a taste of the golf at its purest.
The backbone of the Netherlands’ golfing landscape owes thanks to the great Harry Shapland Colt, one of the most celebrated course designers of any era. His visit spawned the extraordinary courses at Koninklijke Haagsche Golf & Country Club, Kennemer and Utrecht, which together form a formidable triumvirate. The lineup is rounded off by Hilversum, the 11-time Dutch Open host that has recently been revised by the remarkable Kyle Phillips.
A golf tour with seaside twist need not head for the shores of Ireland, Scotland, England or Wales – why not choose a golf tour of the Netherlands, and experience the finest links golf that continental Europe has to offer?
