Noordwjske GC- hole 18
Noordwijkse Golf Club
Noordwijske is a classic links course on the northern coast of the Netherlands.
The terrain it occupies varies from classic seaside dunes to areas where the holes play through a forest of pine trees.
Throughout, the course is blessed with a dramatic rolling links sand base.
It is as natural as it gets!
History
Noordwijske GC dates from 1915 when the original course opened, not far from the current site.
It moved to it's current site in 1972.
The club has hosted the Dutch Open nine times since the move.
Famous winners include: Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer (twice), Colin Montgomerie, Graham Marsh, Jose Rivero & more..
At the time of writing significant alterations were underway to the course, and they do look quite exciting.
Overseeing the changes are noted architects MacKenzie & Ebert.
