Netherlands

Amsterdam / North Holland

Where to stay

Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the gateway for Dutch links golf, with Kennemer at Zandvoort accessible from Schiphol Airport without entering the city. As a base it offers an unrivalled combination of art museums, canals, cycling culture, and restaurants. Golfers arriving by air will often pass Kennemer on the way to the city.

Golf access: Kennemer Golf & Country Club is 25 km west in Zandvoort; Schiphol Airport is en route.
Restaurants & evenings: An internationally diverse food city with excellent Dutch seafood (herring, North Sea plaice), Indonesian cuisine (rijsttafel), and a strong café culture.
Families: The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, Artis Zoo, and the canal network make Amsterdam one of Europe's best family city-break destinations.

Haarlem / Zandvoort

Haarlem is the elegant alternative to Amsterdam for golfers focused on Kennemer — closer to the course, with its own well-preserved historic centre and a genuinely good restaurant scene. Zandvoort's beach and the surrounding dune landscape that the course is routed through are the defining features of this part of the Dutch coast.

Golf access: Kennemer Golf & Country Club is in Zandvoort — the most direct base for the course.
Restaurants & evenings: Haarlem's old town has an excellent restaurant and café scene; Zandvoort is a beach resort with more limited but adequate dining.
Families: Haarlem's Frans Hals Museum, the North Sea beach at Zandvoort (Formula 1 circuit is next to it), and the tulip fields of the Bollenstreek in season.
