Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Martensplek, considering the Dutch weather?

We've found late spring through early autumn, roughly May to September, offers the most consistent weather for Martensplek. You'll still want to pack layers, as the Dutch wind can pick up unexpectedly, even on sunny days, adding an extra challenge to your game.

What's the biggest challenge or unique characteristic golfers should prepare for at Martensplek?

Martensplek's true character lies in its subtle polder landscape and the ever-present water hazards-ditches and canals that crisscross the course. Don't let the seemingly flat terrain fool you; strategic shot placement and a keen eye for the wind are key to avoiding a high score here.

How does the green fee at Martensplek compare to other Dutch courses, and what's the booking advice?

Compared to some of the flashier courses in the Randstad, Martensplek offers excellent value for a quality round, making it a local favorite. We always recommend booking your tee time online well in advance, especially for weekend play, as it fills up quickly.

After a round at Martensplek, what's the best way to unwind and experience some local Dutch charm?

After your round, definitely grab a drink and a 'bitterbal' in the cozy clubhouse-it's a classic Dutch golf experience and the perfect spot to recap your game. For dinner, we suggest heading into the nearby village for some authentic local cuisine, away from any tourist traps.

Is Martensplek easily accessible, and what are your travel tips for getting there?

Martensplek is best reached by car, as it's nestled a bit off the main routes, which is part of its peaceful charm. There's ample free parking on site, making it an easy drive from most major Dutch cities, and well worth the short journey.
