Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Amsterdam?

We've found late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant golfing weather in Amsterdam. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and heat, enjoying comfortable temperatures and lush course conditions. Plus, the longer daylight hours in spring give you more time on the links.

How easy is it to get to Amsterdam's golf courses from the city center?

Getting to the courses from central Amsterdam is surprisingly straightforward, usually a 20-30 minute drive or a short train ride followed by a taxi. We recommend renting a car for maximum flexibility, especially if you plan to visit multiple courses, but public transport options are decent for some. Just remember to factor in travel time to avoid rushing your tee-off.

What kind of golf courses will I find around Amsterdam? Are they mostly links or parkland?

While the Netherlands is known for some fantastic links, Amsterdam's immediate golf scene leans more towards well-maintained parkland and heathland courses. You'll encounter tree-lined fairways, strategic water hazards, and immaculate greens, offering a classic European golf experience rather than rugged coastal play. Don't expect true links, but prepare for challenging and scenic rounds.

Is golfing in Amsterdam an expensive endeavor compared to other European golf destinations?

We'd say Amsterdam's green fees are moderately priced, generally aligning with other major European cities, perhaps a bit higher than some Eastern European options but less than premium UK or Irish links. Expect to pay anywhere from €60-€120 for a round, depending on the course and time of day. Booking online often secures better rates.

With only five courses, are there any particular "must-play" golf courses near Amsterdam that stand out?

Absolutely, we have our favorites! While all five offer a solid experience, we highly recommend checking out The International for its championship pedigree and proximity to the city, or Golfbaan Spaarnwoude if you're looking for sheer variety with its multiple loops. Each course has its own charm, but these two consistently deliver a memorable round.
