From 26 to 28 September, seven (regrettably only seven members) of our club spent a wonderful golfing weekend in the Netherlands. We stayed at Kasteel Daelenbosch - a hotel in the chain of Romantic Hotels - and played twice on the Herkenbosche golf. The first day we played Canadian foresomes which required players to dovetail and back up their partners if you go astray and the second day we played single stapleford.
What a layout! Undulating fairways following the natural lay of the land, lush, green fairways (they seem to have lots of water on their hands), perfect sand in all bunkers, true and quick greens. Set in beautiful woodland, accuracy was needed off the tee. The course had many dogleg holes and blind shots that required accuracy and faith!
The Netherlands as a golfing destination in 2026? No doubt! It is a golfing El-dorado! The seven of us had a super time made even sweeter with the news from the Ryder Cup! Forza Europa! Photos
